As storage cost increases continue to outpace the growth of storage budgets, storage engineers and decision makers are ever vigilant of emerging optimization technologies that enable them to meet capacity demands while minimizing capital expenditures. Recently, several storage optimization approaches have received significant attention in the industry - namely, real-time compression and de-duplication. Although traditionally viewed as mutually exclusive, the two technologies are, in fact, quite complementary. The remainder of this paper discusses the compelling financial and operational advantages of deploying Storwize real-time compression and NetApp de-duplication in conjunction.…

As storage cost increases continue to outpace the growth of storage budgets, IT decision makers are deploying optimization technologies that enable them to meet capacity demands while minimizing capital expenditures. Recently, several storage optimization approaches have received significant attention in the industry - namely, real-time compression for primary and secondary data and de-duplication for highly redundant backup data sets. Although sometimes viewed as mutually exclusive, the two technologies are, in fact, very complementary. The remainder of this paper discusses the compelling financial and operational advantages of deploying Storwize real-time compression and Data Domain de-duplication in conjunction.…

The STN-6000p family of capacity optimization solutions has introduced a new method of on-line data compression that radically changes the traditional economics of storage. Although data compression is a proven technology, it has not been employed systematically for network storage because there was no real-time, lossless, transparent solution that could achieve significant primary data compression with no performance impact…

Storwize has created a solution that provides high levels of data compression for primary storage. In most cases this compression is achieved with a performance gain making the Storwize solution viable for even high performance transaction processing environments. As part of
the design of the solution Storwize has developed the DIA Data Integrity Assurance architecture. This document describes the DIA Data Integrity Assurance architecture and shows how the DIA Data Integrity Assurance
is able to ensure end to end data integrity...
