A VMware-specific term that refers to a technology that keeps track of which blocks of data inside virtual machines have been changed. Backup applications may take advantage of this functionality to perform block-level incremental backups in which only the virtual disk blocks that have changed since the previous backup are written, not the entire contents of the VMs being protected.
Variable-length deduplication typically reduces disk backup capacity by more than 90% and allows existing networks to be used for automated DR protection.
Enterprise deduplication appliances with the power and performance needed for data centers, multi-site installations, and cloud environments.
Compact, scalable deduplication appliances with enterprise performance, replication, and manageability.
