Nexsan to Begin Shipping Power-Managed Deduplication Solution

DeDupe SG 2.0 is aimed at data protection and disaster recovery applications in need of high-performance deduplication.

Nexsan, a storage system provider, has released the DeDupe SG 2.0 solution.

Nexsan's latest storage systems are designed for data protection and disaster recovery applications that require high-performance deduplication. The DeDupe SG 2.0 integrates the latest version of the FalconStor File-Interface Deduplication System (FDS).

The storage systems are also designed for energy efficiency. The "SG" in the DeDupe's name, in fact, stands for "Speed with Green," according to Nexsan.

The latest version of the DeDupe SG features support for Symantec's OpenStorage (OST) protocol, which accelerates data ingestion speeds for increased performance and efficiency.

In a statement, Nexsan told EH Publishing that the Nexsan DeDupe SG 2.0 offers redundant appliances to "provide continuous data access and automatic backup application failover."

"To dramatically increase backup speeds and reduce the complexity of recovery during a disaster," Nexsan states, "the redundant appliances offer backup server connections of up to 5.4 terabytes per hour and support for Symantec OST."

Bob Woolery, senior vice president of marketing for Nexsan, says the DeDupe provide a "cost-effective solution for high availability and continuous data access."

New features of the Nexsan DeDupe SG 2.0 include:

• Redundant appliances for high availability
• Automatic backup application failover
• Symantec OST support
• Support for backup software solutions
• Replication support for up to 150 remote sites
• Further automation of storage management processes
• Optional 10-Gigabit Ethernet connections

The Nexsan DeDupe SG 2.0 will be available at the end of February 2010 through the company's channel network. Storage industry VARs, resellers, and service providers interested in learning more about partnering with Nexsan should visit the company's online sign-up.
