ARC Systems Convinces Clients That Microsoft Server 2012 De-Duplication Feature Will Transform Data Backup Processes For Businesses

Online, April 8, 2013 (Newswire.com) - The team at ARC Systems reacted well to the news that Microsoft's latest cloud-based server software has made good use of a much-loved data compression technique - de-duplication.

As the name suggests, the new data de-duplication feature incorporated into Microsoft Server 2012 finds and removes duplication within data on a volume. It improves storage utilisation and streamlines network data transfers, yet at the same time ensures that all data remains correct and complete.

But what advantages does this pose for the modern-day business? For starters, explains an ARC staff member, this technique can reduce the actual amount of storage needed for a set of files. It's common for copies of similar (or, in some cases, identical) data to be found on the same disk, which wastes resources; de-duplication seeks to eliminate these duplicate files and clear up space on the disk. This in turn will often result in energy savings and release some floor space, bringing down the cost of running and maintaining the server.

Network data de-duplication can also reduce the number of bytes that need to be transferred between endpoints, which can significantly reduce the amount of bandwidth required without affecting performance.

Businesses looking to take full advantage of data de-duplication are encouraged to contact the consultants at ARC Systems. The team will suggest and implement effective IT management strategies that make the most of the array of new features offered by Microsoft Server 2012.
