A Quick Tour of CA SRM › Registering a EMC De-Dupe Device

Registering a EMC De-Dupe Device

EMC Data Domain is an SRM Agent that collects information about the EMC Data Domain De-Dupe appliance using SNMP and command line interface (CLI). CA SRM database collects and populates the details of EMC Data Domain appliance. In the de-duplication process, duplicate data is deleted, leaving only one copy of the data for storage, with references to the unique copy of data. De-duplication reduces the required storage capacity because only the unique data is stored.
