Albireo for Enterprise NAS

Network Attached Storage (NAS) has rapidly evolved to be a significant part of the IT landscape. Unstructured data — consisting of file types such as office documents, source code files, graphics, videos, music and images — represents the fastest growing type of data. Because NAS is most often used to store unstructured data, data growth has been the most prolific in the NAS space. Also contributing to NAS growth is the explosion of virtual machine images in the enterprise. Gartner estimates that 50% of the world’s server deployments will be virtual by 2015. The rapid growth of NAS is a test of storage scalability, and enabling scale requires a more efficient approach to storing data. Unstructured data generally contains significant  data duplication as a result of multiple distributed copies or from the multiple versions generated as materials are developed and edited. This frequently redundant data makes NAS an ideal candidate for Albireo data optimization (data deduplication and compression). When Albireo data optimization is applied to enterprise NAS environments, data reduction rates of 5-35X are typical. For this reason, the leading enterprise NAS solution providers all incorporate some degree of data optimization today – making it a must-have feature in today’s competitive storage market.

Albireo SDK and Albireo VDO (along with COMPRESS and REPLICA) are idea candidates for OEMS that require data deduplication (SDK & VDO) and thin provisioning, compression and replication (VDO).

Business Benefits

  • Lowers cost of NAS by reducing the amount of data stored
  • Reduces maintenance costs because less storage is needed
  • Enables data growth to be efficiently managed
  • Reduces budget impacts resulting from rapid data growth
  • Provides a must-have feature expected by Enterprise NAS customers and delivered by leading products today

Technical Benefits

  • Increases performance by reducing the amount of data written to disk
  • Improves reliability by reducing both wear on disk and load on the network
  • Increases efficiency by lowering the effective cost per GB stored
  • Avoids any impact to existing enterprise NAS features
