Storage Short: Deduplication is NOT a Checkbox item

Back in the early 2000s, when deduplication first came to market, it was a new concept and people had no problem asking a lot of questions about it. Fast forward 14 years – now deduplication is almost everywhere and we’re all supposed to know what it means. Essentially it has become a “checkbox item”, with the assumption being that all deduplication is the same. As Storage Switzerland’s founder points out in the “Storage Short” below, treating deduplication as a checkbox item and assuming that all dedupe is the same can be dangerous.
