About Data Domain and the "Dedupe Matters" Blog
Data Domain® is the leading provider of deduplication storage systems. The Company first began shipping its products in early 2004 and has never stopped innovating! Today Data Domain is shipping its fifth generation of field-proven products that, unlike many new market entrants, were designed from the ground up holistically as deduplication storage systems.
Data Domain believes that data deduplication technology is a fundamental element of the storage infrastructure that should not be "bolted" onto an existing storage product as an afterthought -- or locked up in a backup software application. While the underlying value proposition of data deduplication technology is simple to grasp, the technology itself is complex to create. We know ... we have been working on it since 2001 when the company was first founded!
"Dedupe Matters" is a combination of experts from Data Domain, as well as industry leader and pundit Tony Asaro, offering deduplication storage facts and opinions. The objective of "Dedupe Matters" is to provide a clear view into the realities of one of the most talked about and rapidly adopted technologies in the storage market today. We hope you will visit regularly.
