Sometimes you need one technology to compensate for the weaknesses of other technologies. Data deduplication works in precisely this way. It takes direct advantage of the most inefficient aspect of the backup process, which is the creation of large volumes of duplicate data.

The FalconStor® File-interface Deduplication System (FDS) provides the following benefits for D2D backup:

• Reduces disk consumption by 95% or more
  
• Makes data backup faster and more reliable
  
• Easily integrates with any industry-standard backup software
  
• Replicates data across sites while reducing bandwidth utilization by 95% or more
  
• Supports database backup tools such as RMAN and SQL Backtrack
  
• Provides highly efficient data storage for VM images
  
• And more
