Data deduplication processes are continuing to mature and develop, it has been suggested.

Writing for Computer Technology Review, Marc Crespi, Vice President of Product Management at Exagrid, explained that deduplication is still in its infancy as it only came to the forefront in the field of disk-based backup between 2003 and 2005.

As a result, data deduplication is not yet being used to its full potential by a majority of organisations, despite the fact it can be put to a variety of uses.

Mr Crespi said that different products help to tackle a variety of problems facing businesses, in areas such as primary storage and archiving.

"As the use of deduplication in various products continues to mature, customers will begin to choose the product and method that makes the most sense for the specific problem they are trying to resolve," he forecast.

Last month, eWeek writer Chris Preimesberger said that data deduplication can cut business costs by lowering storage space requirements and thereby reducing data centre power costs.
