BOSTON, MA--(Marketwire - December 16, 2010) - Aberdeen has found that companies that virtualize most, if not all their applications and use remote locations for disaster recovery data protection gain greatly from using data deduplication technologies. The report The Case for Data Deduplication in Highly Virtualized Environments, announced today by Aberdeen Group, a Harte-Hanks Company (
Aberdeen's research found:
- Sixty-seven percent (67%) of leading companies utilize data deduplication technology. Only 25% of other companies make use of this capability.
- One half of highly performing organizations have virtualized most, if not all their applications. This gives them superior application mobility, provisioning and protection from server failures.
- Fifty-seven percent (57%) of superior performing organizations replicate data to remote locations. As this creates multiple copies of identical data, deduplication products compress the files and reduce the amount of physical storage required.
"Every survey we do identifies that the number one pressure on IT managers is meeting the organization's requirements for more physical storage capacity," says Dick Csaplar, Senior Research Analyst and author of the study. "Data deduplication technology can reduce greatly the demand for physical storage by identifying and compressing redundant data."
