HP adds deduplication catalyst to StoreOnce
In early June, HP showed participants of the annual HP Discover forum in Las Vegas an improved version of their flagship HP StoreOnce B6200 Backup disk drive with StoreOnce deduplication technology developed by scientists from HP Labs, which was first presented at a similar forum in Vienna last December .
Thanks to the new HP StoreOnce Catalyst deduplication acceleration software, the B6200 is now able to create backups of 100 terabytes of data in just one hour and restore backups of up to forty terabytes of data. HP StoreOnce Catalyst can work together with the recently announced seventh version of the HP Data Protector backup package (its main innovation is the conceptual search for information in backups based on Autonomy technology), as well as the well-known Backup Exec and NetBackup software products from Symantec.
HP StoreOnce B6200 Backup is not only several times faster than similar backup systems on disks with the deduplication function of other vendors, but is also the only one that implements federated deduplication, i.e. using the same StoreOnce deduplication algorithm as on the client side (source), i.e. application server or backup server, and on the side of the backup storage (target). Although some vendors offer solutions for both types of deduplication, they use two different and poorly integrated products, which significantly complicates the comprehensive implementation of deduplication for the entire enterprise IT infrastructure, including servers located in remote branches, for example, were deduplicated on the client side, can be deduplicated again when writing to a disk library, which, of course, will not give an additional reduction in the volume of backup copies and only in vain lengthen backups.

Another important advantage of HP StoreOnce B6200 Backup over competitors is the cluster architecture of the system, which allows to easily scale its physical capacity according to the scale-out scheme from 48 to 768 TB (up to 512 TB of usable capacity) and ensure correct completion using automatic failover between cluster nodes backup jobs even if one of the system controllers fails (in the minimum 48-TB HP StoreOnce configuration, the B6200 Backup consists of two nodes, in the maximum - of eight).
