Unlike some first-generation deduplication technology, StoreOnce Catalyst does not require users to “rehydrate”, adding back duplicate data before remote office data can be delivered to the datacenter or for archival. For organizations already using deduplication, Catalyst could reduce network bandwidth, idle and underutilized disk space, and management overhead.
HP StoreOnce now also consolidates multiple management interfaces for backup operations, allowing clients to use HP Data Protector 7, Symantec NetBackup, or Symantec Backup Exec to manage deduplication and data movement in the StoreOnce Catalyst environment. This control extends from backup to replication of data sets for disaster recovery. Independent software vendors can achieve the same integration with the HP StoreOnce Catalyst open software development kit.
