the truth about all-flash array deduplication
DESCRIPTION
Deduplication is the key to All-Flash Array adoption because it can drive down the cost of SSD. But each vendor’s dedupe implementation is different and IT Planners should not consider all deduplication to be the same. In this slideshare we give you insight on what to look for and look out for. This slideshare is also available on demand with audio. It features an extensive Q&A session featuring the dedupe expertise of Storage Switzerland’s Lead Analyst George Crump and Permabit’s CEO Tom Cook, and CTO Jered Floyd.

Polling Question – How Far Down The deduplication road Are You?
What is Deduplication?
What Are The Dedupe Use Cases
● Backup (software-devices)
● Hardware
● Software
● Archive
● Long term retention
● WAN
● Bandwidth reduction
● Primary Storage
Why The All Flash Appeal?
How Do Vendors Develop?
● Build Your Own
● Leverage Existing Code/File Systems (ZFS)
● Leverage an API Set
● Leverage a File System Extension
What Are The Flash Dedupe Challenges?
● Performance Impact
● Extra process that gets in the way of I/O
● Increases Cost
● More processing power and RAM consumption
● Increases Data Vulnerability
● Hash table corruption
How Do We Overcome These Challenges?
