Capacity optimization is rapidly moving into the primary storage domain. Traditional data
deduplication approaches have suffered from high CPU overheads, slow performance and
limited scalability—making them unusable for primary storage. The appeal of Permabit’s
Albireo is that it is fast, requires low overhead and scales out, meaning organizations can
realize substantial business value for production systems. The other really important
attribute of Albireo is its integration approach which is appealing to storage array OEMs
because it makes the technology seamless and transparent to IT staff and applications.

Permabit has redefined the Primary Storage Optimization (PSO) market by delivering a high performance, lightweight deduplication solution that can handle the demands of primary data, and is easily embedded into a wide range of OEM solutions in the market today. This is the catalyst the industry has been waiting for to drive mainstream adoption of deduplication for primary storage for all types of data–block and file. OEMs that will
leverage this technology will have a one to two year head start over their competition as we begin seeing deployments of this technology before the end of 2010. Albireo has put PSO on the fast track.

Albireo, from Permabit, delivers a knock out blow to the issues that makes users resistant
to data optimization on primary storage. OEMs that implement Albireo will be well ahead
of their competitors providing their customers more efficient storage that yields better
cost, data integrity and scales to petabytes. Albireo delivers the deduplication
performance that is needed in primary storage and it may be the most significant change
for primary storage in 2010 and beyond.

The Albireo technology from Permabit will save an OEM 18-24 months getting to market, if they can do it at all. This stuff is so far ahead in its capabilities and performance I can’t see why you would want to do it yourself, unless you already have it baked. Expect some big announcements from some big players offering primary dedupe based on Albireo as soon as this summer.
