Advanced Data Reduction Concepts (2013)

The two most prevalent forms of data reduction, compression and deduplication, have become widespread in many types and tiers of data storage. This tutorial assumes a basic understanding of compression and deduplication and covers advanced topics that attendees will find helpful in understanding today’s expanded applications of these as well as other data reduction technologies.

Learning Objectives

Have a clear understanding of current data reduction design trends.
Have the ability to discern between various deduplication design approaches and strengths.
Recognize where compression and/or deduplication may and may not fit in their storage environment.
