Albireo Deduplication for Cloud Backup Services
Customer demands for cloud storage are increasingly driven by interest in affordable, elastic storage that addresses business continuity requirements for backup, recovery, and archiving. Differentiating these services requires software with enterprise-class data management features.
Deduplication is one area that can significantly differentiate these offerings by reducing the cost to both transfer and store data in the cloud. Cloud backup that incorporates deduplication provides customers with a scale-out, affordable data protection solution at a lower cost than competitive offerings. With Albireo SDK, cloud backup providers can immediately benefit from bandwidth optimization, capacity savings, and massive scale-out capabilities regardless of whether they are agent-based or agent-less solutions.
