Permabit Has Software Deduplication for Linux Vendors
Permabit, an OEM deduplication software supplier, has built an Albireo version for Linux vendors to use, saying the mainstream storage OEM market for its technology is saturated. as reported on Channel Register, Albireo is a software deduplication technology that storage OEMs can use for primary as well as secondary deduplication since its use does not add delay to data reading or writing.
"BlueArc and Xiotech are two mainstream storage OEMs that have signed licenses to use the technology.
"However, Dell is going its own way with deduplication, having bought Ocarina, Compellent is writing its own deduplication technology, HP has its in-house StoreOnce technology, and EMC has its Avamar and Data Domain product sets as well as its Viper project.
"NetApp has its in-house ASIS technology. and IBM has Diligent. The mainstream storage array vendor market is thus getting saturated as all the suppliers in it field their own in-house or acquired deduplication technologies, leaving no more room for Permabit."
