Data De-Duplication

Data de-duplication as the process removing redundant files, bytes or blocks of data to ensure that only ‘unique’ data is stored.

In essence our goal is to:
  1. Eliminates failed backups and restores
  2. Greatly reduces your backup window
  3. Work with existing backup application

Sunstar Company has teamed up with ExaGrid

Read the frequently asked questions and in all likelyhood ExaGrids scalable solution will work for you.

ExaGrid's byte-level data de-duplication technology stores changes from backup to backup instead of storing full file copies. This unique approach reduces the disk space required by 10 to 50:1, or more, delivering unparalleled cost savings and performance.

  1. Disk-based backup with compression/data de-duplication at the cost of tape
  2. Optional WAN-efficient offsite system for tape replacement/disaster recovery
