Data Domain was the pioneer of deduplication for backups. Not just because I had a small investment in the B round, so he made me money, but more because just about everything he said matched experiences I had at Sun or nVIDIA. Kai illustrated their success by showing a line of 17 full racks each containing an IBM tape library that were replaced by 3 3U Data Domain systems. The two that Kai pointed out were that disk had already replaced tape in personal audio (Walkman to iPod) and in TV time-shifting (VHS to Tivo), and that Moore's Law had already shifted from faster CPUs to more cores. Usenix has posted the video and audio of Kai's talk. ./cache/blog-dshr-org-3990.html ./txt/blog-dshr-org-3990.txt
