DD doesn't pay me either but IMHO but the idea of inline dedupe made
more sense to us simply due to the fact we wouldn't have to find
rack/floor space for significantly increased storage required by post
dedupe.
FYI: EMC is pushing dedupe solutions as well. There is a also a
company called Sepaton doing it.
You should probably get information from as many of these vendors as
possible then decide which makes sense to pursue for testing.

I think that "post process vs. inline" is an important issue.
We evaluated both Netapp and Data Domain, before choosing the Data
Domain solution. One of reasons was that processing.
Post processing, means if you are writing 4 Tb of data on a weekend
full, you have to have 4 Tb of free disk space to write it all, and then
it will compress down.
In-line, means that as you write that 4 Tb of data, you only have to
have the space for the de-duped/compressed image.
I won't shill for Data Domain, since they don't pay me, but...
