Until now, traditional deduplication implementations have typically been expensive, limited in scale, confined to secondary storage, and administratively complex.
SmartDedupe integration with the PowerScale scale-out NAS architecture delivers on the promise of simple data efficiency at scale by providing significant storage cost savings, without sacrificing ease of use or data protection.
With its simple, powerful interface, and intelligent default settings, SmartDedupe is easy to estimate, configure and manage, and provides enterprise data efficiency within a single, highly extensible storage pool. Scalability to petabytes and the ability to add new capacity and new technologies, while retaining older capacity in the same system, means strong investment protection. Integration with OneFS core functions eliminates data risks and gives the user control over what system resources are allocated to data movement.
