In my last post, I mentioned the results of the Permabit Labs six week study of dedupe’s effectiveness with Oracle RMAN backups. In this post I want to talk about the methodology used in this study in a bit more detail.
The most important thing we learned in performing this study is that capacity savings are extremely dependent on how RMAN is used. To maximize deduplication efficiency when using RMAN, there are three things to keep in mind:

It’s been a while since I last wrote about Deduplication and the Enterprise Database. My previous posts focused on databases in the primary storage environment, but, of course, backup was really the first use case to reap the benefits of deduplication.
For this discussion, we will focus on Oracle database environments (but keep in mind that this applies to other Database environments as well). Oracle backups are performed using the RMAN uti...
VMware announced the acquisition of storage hypervisor software maker Virsto, this week. This is a really profound move by VMware that will have widespread impact on storage efficiency. Don't confuse Virsto with caching companies, they have implemented VM-centric thin provisioning and storage virtualization on the client. It can be used with any vendor's block storage!
What does this mean for VMFS? Not sure, but it is clear that with Virsto th...
The promise of cloud storage is that it delivers users seamless “just in time” storage scalability to handle growth and enables them to quickly respond to peak loads delivering business agility. With data growth consistently in the 50% per year range enterprises are seriously evaluating the use of cloud storage and are taking the cloud storage step with increasing frequency. The business impact of cloud storage is a compelling financial p...
Backup is a critical linchpin in any business data protection strategy. Unfortunately, business dynamics of today aren’t well aligned with the IT objectives of protecting business critical data. Data growth rates of 30-50% annually continue to add to backup complexity. In addition, businesses are increasingly more 24/7 than ever before and as a result are minimizing the backup window even more! The conundrum of more data and short...
