Disk-based backup.

HP is transforming data protection with its new data de-duplication solutions. These new disk-based backup systems offer approximately 50 times as much disk utilization potential, deliver a scalable solution for reducing storage costs, while enhancing the protection of business critical data. The data de-duplication technology eliminates redundant data from a disk storage device to lower storage space requirements and enables healthcare organizations to reduce floor space and possibly lower energy consumption by decreasing storage capacity requirements. The HP StorageWorks D2D 2500 and 4000 Backup Systems emulate up to 16 LTO tape autoloaders or libraries and consolidate backup of as many as 16 servers onto a single network-connected device. For enterprises, the StorageWorks Virtual Library System emulates multiple tape libraries or drives for data centers to reliably back up large amounts of data with quick restores.
