The introduction of de-duplication technologies for virtual tape
processing in the z/OS marketplace in early 2010 presents an entirely new
set of opportunities and questions for enterprise users. This paper provides
a high level overview of how de-duplication works, discusses the
characteristics of z/OS workloads that lend themselves to de-duplication
solutions, and proposes both workload characterization and performance
metrics for de-duplication appliances.
