NetApp says that it is the first vendor to achieve more than an exabyte of storage with deduped storage-system deployments. In its news announcement, NetApp also said that more than half of its systems deployed currently use four to five storage efficiency technologies, and that deduplication is often the initial storage efficiency technology deployed.

No other best-of-breed storage vendor can offer this level of deduped storage capacity, or our range of storage efficiency technologies, or validate such significant and sustainable savings for customers.'"
