As the volume of data continues to grow, data deduplication has become increasingly important.
A new report titled “Federal Government Data Deduplication Strategies Worth Duplicating” has found that the U.S. Federal government hasn’t been as advanced as the private sector when it comes to deduplication.
“Many agencies have embraced virtualization as a way to control data sprawl and its associated costs, but management of virtual data has since become an issue,” the report said.
In short, federal IT departments are in danger of being swamped even as they try to control the problem and that is expensive.
