Deduplication is the process of minimizing storage space taken by the data by detecting data repetition and storing the identical data only once.

How deduplication works

Deduplication at source

When backing up to a deduplication vault, Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 reads the items being backed up – disk blocks for disk backup or files for file backup – and calculates a hash value of each block.

Before sending the item to the vault, the agent queries the deduplication database to determine whether the item’s hash value is the same as that of an already stored item.

If so, the agent sends only the item’s hash value; otherwise, it sends the item itself.

Items that cannot be deduplicated are transferred to the vault without calculating their hash value.

Deduplication at target

After a backup to a deduplicating vault is completed, Storage Node deduplicates data in the vault as follows:

Storage Node moves the items (disk blocks or files) from the archives to a special folder within the vault, storing duplicate items there only once. This folder is called the deduplication data store. Items that cannot be deduplicated remain in the archives.

In the archives, Storage Node replaces the moved items with the correspondent references to them.

As a result, the vault contains a number of unique, deduplicated items, with each item having one or more references to it from the vault’s archives.

Good technology, but I wonder whether Dell is the right company to steer these Cloud companies they are acquiring. They have acquired Ocarina this year as well.

After losing out to HP for 3Par, I think they definitely look at getting into Cloud in a big way. Citrix would be the obvious choice, but would be a difficult acquisition… but it would create a real powerhouse in the Cloud market. A softer approach would be to acquire Rackspace, who are a major hosting provider with pretensions of being a major cloud provider. Somehow, Dell would need figure out how to do all this without upsetting their software partners, such as Microsoft and Citrix. I don’t see it ending well.

I can just imagine how tense the Dell strategy meetings must be….
