Increase backup speed
by up to 50%
Save storage space with
deduplication ratios of up to 17:1
Offload bandwidth by up to
99% during backup
Reduce Storage Consumption by up to 17X and Accelerate VM Backup
The quantity of business data has drastically increased in recent years. This results in two problems for modern companies. The first one is the amount of storage space that backups occupy. The second is the significant load on the production network created by backup operations, especially if they are run during business hours.
NAKIVO Backup & Replication and Dell/EMC Data Domain Boost offer a combined solution for both of these challenges. By using NAKIVO Backup & Replication along with the source-side deduplication of Dell/EMC Data Domain Boost, you can perform VM backups 50% faster while reducing the size of your backups by up to 94%. This means that you can offload your network and save storage space at the same time.

How the Integration Works
To use the source-side deduplication offered by Dell/EMC Data Domain Boost, the BoostFS plugin must be installed on the transporter instance of NAKIVO Backup & Replication. The plugin acts as a local share and deduplicates all backups before they are transferred over the network.

Source-Side Deduplication vs. Target-Side Deduplication
The most common type of deduplication is target-side deduplication. In this case, the deduplication occurs in the backup repository after data transfer. Source-side deduplication, however, is performed on the client side, meaning that only fully deduplicated data is sent over the network to the backup repository. Using source-side deduplication offers significant advantages, such as faster backups and more efficient use of bandwidth as well as CPU.
