Permabit Doubles Up on Dedupe Speed, Another Year of Milestones
Permabit’s got some good news this week, having increased its Albireo dedupelication offering’s speed increased by 250 percent to 400GB/sec. The change has been implimented in just under a year. In late 2010, the speed recorded by the Enterprise Strategy Group Lab (ESG) was 77GB/sec. Another benefit of Albeiro is that it doesn’t slow down primary data access during the process, though the speed alone is enough to make it an attractive offering.
“With their patented hybrid approach using both sparseand dense indexing, they have increased overall deduplication efficiency by 10X or more. Ourvalidation has shown that they have exceeded the 400 GB/sec performance threshold with the ability to scale to over 20 PB in a 16 node grid configuration,” said Brian Garrett, VP at ESG Lab’s Enterprise Strategy Group.
When looking at its competition, EMC Data Domain DD890 dedupes at 4.08GB/sec, while ExaGrid’s EX13000E runs at a rate of 24 terabytes per hour in a 10-node grid, a performance a single Albireo node can top, according to statistics pulled by the Register.
Permabit sells Albiero as a software development kit to a fairly short list of OEMs: BlueArc and Xiotech are two of the companies that are licensing it, while there are some rumors that storage firm NetApp does the same as a part of the Engenio deal. The company has a lot of room for growth.
Albireo uses what Permabit calls “dense and sparse indexing techniques.” The company added four patents to its existing portfolio a couple months ago, including some that cover the reuse of historical records, a technique to reduce bandwidth requirements and a way for users to communicate with each other. Earlier this year the company rolled out Linux support for Albireo, further expanding its target audience.
A personnel update from the industry comes from Infineta, which last week announced that Ashok Krishnamurthi, one of the key individuals behind Juniper Networks’ business development, has joined its board of directors. Infineta developed the d Velocity Dedupe Engine.
