Data Domain, the leading provider of deduplication storage systems, is integrating Multi-Core IntelŽ XeonŽ processors and an IntelŽ Server Board into its new products to optimize throughput by accelerating the performance of its inline data deduplication technology. Integrating the processor and motherboard technologies can help customers optimize the throughput of Data Domain products by improving the performance of inline data deduplication. This reduces the costs, size, and environmental impact of their data centers while enabling them to work toward more flexible, adaptive IT infrastructures.

"The IntelŽ processors have helped us to produce energy-efficient appliances and storage arrays that strongly support our green initiative," says Dan McGee, vice president of engineering for Data Domain. "Multi-Core IntelŽ XeonŽ processors dramatically accelerate our inline data deduplication technology. Using Multi-Core Intel Xeon processors, our new products deliver significantly higher throughput than their single-core predecessors."

"We're going to continue to evolve as Intel evolves," says McGee. "As processor speeds and multi-core technology scales, we will be able to consider possibilities that weren't available in the past. We know that Intel technology and our own unique intellectual property will help us produce the best solutions for our customers."
