In an effort to clarify its stance on data deduplication, Dell is answering questions about its dedupe partnerships with EMC and Quantum, shipping a new disk-based backup appliance based on CommVault's Simpana 8.0 software, and offering details on an upcoming Dell/EMC system based on Quantum's deduplication architecture. Last November, Dell entered into a three-way development partnership with Quantum and EMC, under which the trio is developing and standardizing all Quantum, Dell and Dell/EMC storage products on a common deduplication architecture. The deal raised questions about Dell's other partnerships with OEMs such as CommVault and Symantec. Today, Dell is attempting to clear up any confusion by officially stating its deduplication strategy. Brett Roscoe, senior manager, product marketing, Dell Enterprise Storage, says deduplication is not a one-size-fits-all solution. "There are different approaches to deduplication for customers to choose from and, internally at Dell, there is a market for both source-based and target-based dedupe," says Roscoe.
