• Save Energy - save 65% in energy between backups
• Save Resources - easy NAS interface with auto-management
• Save Space - industry leading density

» DeDupe SG™ Overview

First generation deduplication systems focused on saving storage. Nexsan and FalcornStor are redefining what you expect from a deduplication solution by delivering an ultra-efficient system that saves more than just capacity. DeDupe SG is faster to save time on backup and restore, greener to save energy between backups, simpler to save management resources and more dense to save space. Introducing DeDupe SG, the only highly efficient deduplication solution. By uniquely delivering "SG" - Speed with Green - DeDupe SG edges out the competition in performance while offering significant energy savings during idle times.

DeDupe SG™ is a complete, turn-key solution with all the necessary software and hardware leveraging Nexsan’s highly efficient storage combined with FalconStor’s high performance deduplication software engine (File-interface Deduplication System - FDS). DeDupe SG represents the next generation in data deduplication by reducing capacity costs while greatly improving operational efficiency.

DeDupe SG delivers performance that is 20% to 100% faster than competitive vendors by combining the latest high speed CPU processing technology with Nexsan’s high speed RAID subsystem. Not only is it faster, DeDupe SG is smarter by first writing and storing backups on its high speed disk cache (deduping at a later time or concurrently) so that backup tasks are completed in a fraction of the time.

DeDupe SG flexes its strength as the only highly efficient deduplication storage system. DeDupe SG doesn't just deliver speed, it delivers green. The typical backup window is 2-8 hours a day, yet all other dedupe solutions spin disks at full speed for the remaining 16-22 hours. By leveraging the green efficiencies inherent to Nexsan storage components and energy saving AutoMAID™ technology, DeDupe SG users not only get better performance during their backups, they save energy and reduce costs every hour the system is not in use - 65% savings when compared to other dedupe solutions and 95% when compared to normal disk storage.

» Advanced Features

• Turn-Key Solution
  DeDupe SG is a complete solution and includes all necessary software and storage systems, preconfigured and ready to use.
• Fast Write to Disk Cache
  DeDupe SG can write and store backups on its high speed disk cache and then dedupe the data at a later time. By first writing backups to a fast disk cache, backup tasks are completed in a fraction of the time.
• Independent, High Speed RAID Subsystem
  DeDupe SG has its own independent, high performance RAID subsystem that can scale up to 8GB cache and up to 8 RAID engines. With RAID tasks off-loaded to the subsystem, CPU processing power can be solely dedicated to deduplication allowing users to backup and restore faster.
• Multiple Streams/Applications Support
  DeDupe SG supports multiple streams from multiple applications.
• AutoMAID™ Energy Saving Technology
  Nexsan DeDupe SG offers up to 65% more energy savings with AutoMAID. AutoMAID allowing DeDupe SG to gradually slow down and turn off its drives to conserve energy yet provide near-instantaneous access to data when needed.
• Block Level Deduplication
  DeDupe SG works at the block level – not the file level -providing granular data deduplication and can be used with any type of data backup.
• Standard NAS Interface
  DeDupe SG utilizes a standard NAS interface for easy connectivity and management. Simply put, if you can write it to NAS, you can dedupe it and store it.
• Backup Software Compatibility
  DeDupe SG works seamlessly with popular backup or archive software.
• Central Management
  The management system enables administration and monitoring of all deduplication processes and services for 100s of TBs of logical data capacity. DeDupe SG systems can be accessed across any LAN, MAN or WAN.
  DeDupe SG management services can be installed on any Windows or UNIX platform providing easy online access to all DeDupe SG systems. From a central interface, administrators can manage all DeDupe SG functions including NAS configurations, system monitoring, replication and recovery services.
• Flexible Dedupe Exclusions
  Users have the flexibility to exclude some data streams from the deduplication process. The DeDupe SG policy engine enables ‘set and forget’ deduplication management while speeding up backup operations.
• Industry Leading Density
  DeDupe SG is very compact and available in many different sizes to accommodate the needs of any business:
  4TB and 7TB usable capacity in a 5U configuration
  12TB, 18TB and 26TB usable capacity in a 6U configuration
  52TBs usable capacity in a 10U configuration
• RAID 6 Protection
  Data in the DeDupe SG is protected by Nexsan high speed RAID 6 guarding against dual drive failures. RAID sets are automatically rebuilt using included hot spare drives.
• Replication with Global Dedupe
  DeDupe SG can replicate deduped backups to another Nexsan DeDupe SG system located offsite for added data protection. DeDupe SG small office systems can also be installed at remote sites and their data replicated to a central DeDupe SG system.
