Using Deduplication as a Primary Storage Technology [25257]
Look for Commonality of Data, Gartner VP Advises
Deduplication as a for primary storage tool is discussed in Carol Sliwa's searchstorage.com interview with Dave Russell of Gartner Inc. In both backup and primary storage, Russell asserts, commonality of data is the chief consideration. If an embedded technology is available for dedup use in primary storage, Russell recommends its use; if not, then an attached appliance will serve the purpose. NetApp's ability to perform deduplication/compression on primary storage data makes it attractive technology, he says. When choosing vendors consider the possible need to reinflate compressed data when using one vendor for backup and another for primary storage.

OpenStorage Summit Evokes Interest in Alternatives to Conventional Storage Technologies [25129]
Nexenta, Symantec Products Attract Attention
Reporting from the recent OpenStorage Summit, 451 Group analyst Dave Simpson notes a healthy degree of interest in open source alternatives to traditional storage systems. The economies that open source storage technologies such as Nexenta offer have apparently proven sufficiently compelling that Korea Telecom, for example, Asia's largest public cloud provider, has implemented those technologies and offers its services to customers at considerably reduced rates. Simpson also mentions new products from both Nexenta and Symantec, which have attracted considerable interest in the industry. These include NexentaStor 3.1.2 and Symantec's OpenStorage APIs.

Hybrid Columnar Compression Now Supported for ZFS Storage Appliances, Pillar Axiom Storage Systems [24665]
Enables 3x to 5x Reduction in Storage Footprint Versus EMC and NetApp for Oracle Databases
Hybrid Columnar Compression, enabled in an update to Oracle Database 11g Release 2, is now supported on both Oracles Sun ZFS Storage Appliances and Pillar Axiom Storage Systems enabling customers using Oracles NAS and SAN systems to manage the lifecycle of data using in-database archiving for OLTP databases and data warehouses, with 10x to 50x compression for most datasets. Using Hybrid Columnar Compression in these environments, customers can achieve 3x to 5x reductions in their storage footprints, energy usage and cost by replacing existing EMC and NetApp SAN and NAS storage with Oracle storage solutions.
