Understanding Data Deduplication

Not All Deduplication Methods Are Created Equal What is Data Deduplication? Data deduplication is a specialized data compression technique to eliminate duplicate copies of repeating data. This technology is particularly beneficial in virtualized infrastructure as it significantly reduces the required storage space caused by the redundancy of dozens or hundreds of virtual machines using the…

Advantages of Real-time Recovery vs. Instant Recovery

The introduction of instant recovery was a significant advancement in data recovery, offering quicker restoration times without real-time replication. However, as data dependence grows, its limitations become apparent. Real-time recovery, exemplified by VergeIO’s ioGuardian, promises reduced RPO and RTO, simplified recovery, cost-effectiveness, and enhanced data availability, setting a new standard in data restoration.

Can HCI Replace a SAN?

IT leaders explore hyperconverged infrastructure (HCI) and its potential to replace SAN and NAS. However, current HCI solutions disappoint with high costs, sub-par performance, and limited scalability. An Ultraconverged Infrastructure (UCI) like VergeOS emerges as a viable solution, offering lower costs, superior performance, and advanced data resiliency with global inline deduplication. UCI delivers on the…

Ransomware is an Infrastructure Problem

Tackles the ransomware menace by addressing the root cause—an infrastructure problem. Discover why you shouldn’t rely solely on backups! Learn why simplifying patching, hardening platform software, and protecting all data are critical to successful ransomware recovery.

Can HCI Deliver?

Can HCI overcome the challenges mid-sized data centers face? Discover how an ultraconverged infrastructure solution can address HCI’s limitations, reduce costs, and simplify IT operations.

VMware Storage Challenges

VMware storage challenges are the limiting factor in how thoroughly organizations adopt it. Both AFA and HCI continue to fall short in addressing VMware storage problems. Learn what these challenges are and how to fix them.

The Problems Using Array-Based Replication for VMware DR

Array-based replication may seem ideal for IT professionals looking to improve their disaster recovery (DR) strategy. It sends an off-host copy of data to a remote site without installing special software in the hypervisor. However, array-based replication is expensive and needs additional components at the DR site for the organization to recover from the disaster…

Minimize VMware TCO Triggers

When looking for a VMware alternative, you need to move beyond low prices and look for a solution to minimize VMware TCO triggers. VMware Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) triggers are challenges or needs that come up during the use of VMware that force you to do something that increases the cost of ownership. IT…

How to Extend the Life of IT Infrastructure

As budgets continue to tighten, IT leaders are trying to figure out how to extend the life of IT infrastructure so they can reduce spending. At the same time, you must keep up with demands for improving performance and meeting capacity expectations. You need to get more from the current hardware. There is a process…

What is Global Inline Deduplication?

If you are deploying a private cloud that spans multiple data centers or hundreds of Edge locations, understanding the various forms of deduplication is critical to selecting the infrastructure for these initiatives. Understanding what you will get from each vendor’s deduplication technology is challenging, as they use similar names but offer different capabilities or unique…
