    Leveraging deduplication in backup environments yields significant advantages. The cost savings in reducing disk capacity requirements change the economics of disk-based backup. For some organizations, it allows disk-based backup-and, importantly, recovery-to be extended to additional workloads in the environment. For others, deduplication makes it possible to introduce disk-based backup where it may not have been feasible before.

    One of the key strategies that IT teams are pursuing to reduce capital costs while boosting asset utilization and employee productivity is the transition to highly virtualized data centers. However, IDC finds that expectations for further boosts in IT asset use and operational efficiency often surpass the actual results for a variety of reasons. These problems can quickly overwhelm any hoped-for benefits as the scope of virtual server deployment expands.

    Experts predict in the next five years the amount of data that exists will grow by tenfold. This data explosion is in large part thanks to 'big data'-weblogs, equipment logs, social media, email, sensors, photographs, video footage, etc.-that is typically unstructured and voluminous. New networked devices and applications are collecting more data than ever, and more organizations are holding on to it
