Press Release
10th August 2008

ACW Distribution, one of largest technology distributors in Hong Kong & Macau, has signed a distributorship agreement with Data Domain, the leader in next-generation data deduplication solutions. Being a top storage and data management solution provider, ACW will carry DD690 Appliance, DD500 Appliance Series, Replicator Software, OpenStorage Software and VTL Software. All these solutions deliver high-throughput, scalable deduplication storage for the distributed enterprise, from the remote office to the data center. Unlike other disk-based backup products that serve as front-ends to a tape library infrastructure, the Appliance Series provides cost-effective long-term onsite retention and highly efficient network-based data replication for disaster recovery (DR), remote office protection and tape consolidation. The product is pioneering the emerging market known as Capacity Optimized Storage. Speed-of-data-recovery and the ability to store up to 23 TB of data on site have made the company’s product an integral part of their backup and recovery strategy. “The deduplication market for Data Domain products in Hong Kong is very large and requires a sophisticated channel to meet growing customer demand,” said Norris Hung, Product Director of ACW Distribution, "The development of the market will be rewarding and we are excited about partnering with such a top technology vendor from US.”
