THE DAYS OF DEDUPLICATION APPLIANCES are fading and they are now becoming just expensive storage with isolated operations. Data protection costs are soaring and proprietary appliance solutions are over-priced and difficult to manage. Averaging over $1,500 per terabyte for one copy of data, Data Domain quickly becomes financially prohibitive and operationally overwhelming. In addition, if you are using a data protection product to drive Data Domain you are probably paying twice for deduplication.
If you are experiencing challenges around appliance management, network traffic consumption, growing appliance costs, or restore problems, Cobalt Iron offers a cost effective and modern approach with Adaptive Data Protection.
THE VALUE OF REPLACING DATA DOMAIN WITH ADAPTIVE DATA PROTECTION
- Mature integration with major applications including Oracle, MS SQL, SAP HANA, DB2, etc.
- Highest scaling, highest performing solutions available for these applications
- Much less expensive than Data Domain
- Unifies operations with the rest of backup and DR
- Integrates enterprise data discipline into database backup operations
ADAPTIVE DATA PROTECTION SOLUTION
Adaptive Data Protection delivers the ability to deduplicate at either the client and/or server side. However, we don’t double charge for deduplication. Using DD Boost (or any other backup product that has its own deduplication) and Data Domain incurs a duplicate charge for clients. The backend storage also comes at a much lower cost with our solution. In addition, DD Boost introduces silo management of applications which can encourage bad behaviors outside of enterprise data disciplines such as
runaway storage and excessive network usage. The Adaptive Data Protection solution supports all clients including Oracle, MS SQL, file systems, virtual systems, and more. These are all managed under a unified enterprise data protection solution through a single dashboard. In addition, our solution automates up to 90% of the daily backup administration operation saving both time and money.
ASK YOURSELF
