Sepaton presented themselves to us as an
alternative to Data Domain (data deduplication on hard drives). When I read
the info they sent me it seemed that I’d have to buy at least as much
storage as I already had because first copy isn’t compressed. We didn’t
have the floor space for that so didn’t pursue it. Data Domain on the
other hand compresses and dedupes so using much smaller units than it seemed
Sepaton was suggesting allowed us to do the compression and deduplication.
You might also look at EMC’s
offerings for data deduplication. They’ve been pushing them but we haven’t
looked into them since we’d already gone the DD route.

Hello All,
Happy New Year.
Has anyone heard of, or worked with Sepaton? If so, could you give me
some highlights?
