IT leaders sit at the centre of conflicting demands on the one side for data retention and on the other to minimise expenditure on storage. Data de-duplication technologies can help resolve this dilemma.

Data de-duplication is a space-saving technology that dramatically improves efficiency across the entire backup infrastructure including storage, physical or virtual servers, and networks. Deduplication benefits include:

* Fast backups via existing infrastructure
* Longer retention and immediate, single-step recovery from disk failure
* Optimised datacentre and remote office backup
* Fast, efficient remote replication for disaster recovery

This Computing web seminar in association with EMC will address the question of what data de-duplication is, how it is performed, and its impact on backup and recovery environments. The topics covered include fixed and variable length segmentation, protecting the integrity of de-duplicated data, flexible deployment options, and the complementary use of virtualisation and replication technologies.

Who should attend:

• CIOs, IT directors, IT managers
• Datacentre managers
• Data retention managers
• Data compliance officers

Reasons to attend:

• Learn how data de-duplication can address your organisation’s data retention needs while optimising expenditure.
• Put questions about data retention and de-duplication to our expert panel.
