Enterprise Vault 10 - Deduplication or SIS/OSIS ??

[Morgoth]

Hi all,

could someone please explain if Enterprise Vault 10 uses deduplication or is it still the OSIS technology used?

It is a little bit confusing as Symantes uses SIS and OSIS terms for their single instance technlogy inside EV for many years. With Enterprise Vault 10 they use term "Deduplication" as stated on features page of EV.

Quote (http://www.symantec.com/business/enterprise-vault:( "Global Deduplication of Archived Content across email, files, SharePoint documents, IM, and more"

I would like to know has something changed in storage reduction mechanisim or is Symantec just using a popular buzzword "Deduplication" instead until now used OSIS and SIS

Thank you.

I don't think this has changed in EV10, so it's still SIS/OSIS with a popular buzzword :)

SIS=Single Instance Storage

OSIS=Optimised Single Instance Storage

Enterprise Vault 10 = OSIS

Nothing has changed in EV 10 with regards to the single instance capablity. Enterprise Vault still uses its OSIS model to provide storage savings through single instance.

If the case of the press releases then the use of the terms SIS, OSIS and Deduplication mean the same thing and do not describe different functionality.

Hope that clears it up.
