Jargon Watch: EMC 3D = Data Deduplication

May 21, 2008 By Stephen 1 Comment

Watching the announcements coming out of EMC World today, one bit of jargon stuck out at me:  The EMC bloggers are starting to refer to “data deduplication” as “3D”.  I had never heard this terminology before yesterday, but the EMCers are all using it, so it must be a popular term inside that company.  So I’m just giving my readers a heads-up: 3D is deduplication, at least at EMC.
