What is the purpose of DD Boost in the DD series?

The purpose of DD Boost in the Data Domain series is to facilitate source-based data reduction for efficient backups. DD Boost optimizes the data backup process by allowing data deduplication to occur at the source, before it is sent to the storage device. This means that only unique data is transmitted over the network, significantly reducing the amount of data that needs to be transferred and stored. It improves both backup performance and efficiency by minimizing network bandwidth usage and storage costs, as well as speeding up the backup process. This technology is particularly beneficial in environments where data volumes are high, enabling organizations to complete backups more quickly while conserving resources.
