Top Benefits

• Lower overall cost of storage

  By eliminating redundant data being backed up, store less data and save on storage space and operation costs

• Promotes a "greener" IT operations

  Deduplicated data is more environmentally efficient because it reduces the amount of electricity consumed and equipment needed to backup IT environments.

• Faster recoveries

  Tight integration with Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 Advanced Editions reduces recovery times to minutes.

• Allows IT administrators to meet Federal and corporate compliance requirements more efficiently

  These requirements can create massive additional amounts of data, and deduplication reduces the cost of maintaining it.

• Fast return on investment

  Purchasing Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 Deduplication pays for itself quickly through a combination of reduced:

  • Electrical consumption
  • Server and disk purchases
  • IT facility floor space
  • Administrative overhead

Key Features

• Fully integrated with Acronis^® Backup & Recovery^™ 10 Advanced Editions

  By integrating deduplication functionality with protection for servers and workstations, a machine failure won’t force IT administrators to carry out a time-consuming rebuild before one can regain access to deduplicated data. Acronis integration enables recoveries of systems in minutes, rather than hours or days. Compare this with deduplication offerings from other vendors whose deduplication products are incompatible with their backup and recovery products: a system failure may make deduplicated files inaccessible for hours, perhaps days.

• Multi-type backups

  Deduplication can be applied to full, incremental and differential backups.

• Sensible cost

  Some companies price their deduplication products by the amount of data that is deduplicated, making it difficult to gauge the total cost of ownership. Pricing for A Acronis^® Backup & Recovery^™ 10 Deduplication is per protected machine, bringing this capability to both large and small organizations.

• Uses commodity storage hardware

  As a software-only solution, Acronis bypasses the need for costly proprietary hardware.

• Easy to use

  Acronis deduplication functions are carefully designed for simplicity of operation, and we feature page-based navigation to reduce the need for extensive training.

• Highly secure

  Deduplication data stores need special protection so they cannot be compromised. Acronis stores deduplication components separately, with special safeguards to prevent direct deletions of multi-instance data. You may also encrypt deduplicated data and limit vault access only to those having password access.

• Source or target deduplication

  Pick where the deduplication process is done, at either the source or target machine.
