Thanks, Bill! That's great stuff. It's good to see that they see dedupe as a key feature. As he says, it won't benefit TSM customers as much as others, but it will still benefit them. It's interesting to see that they're going to do server-side dedupe first. They'll already have that with the TSM VTL when they release their dedupe version, and that's likely to be released first. I guess the idea is to give you dedupe without having to buy a VTL.
>From a purely educational perspective, there's a lot of good info in there just about dedupe, but the preso does describe dedupe as if it's synonymous with hash-based dedupe. That is actually only one three methods of deduping. To see a description of all three methods, check out the other dedupe presentation at the same conference: http://tinyurl.com/3cw2p3 Thanks again for the link. Good stuff. --- W.
