PRODUCT ANNOUNCEMENT

Retention Lock Software
Enables Active Archiving
for IT Governance and
Compliance

SANTA CLARA, Calif. — June 23, 2008 — Data Domain® (NASDAQ: DDUP), the leading provider of Deduplication Storage systems, today announced the Data Domain Retention Lock software option, the industry’s first software to allow file locking for IT regulatory governance with high throughput inline deduplication and maximum flexibility for trusted operators. With Data Domain Retention Lock software, IT administrators can now store deduplicated files in an unalterable state for a specified length of time. This introduction of WORM (write once – read many) for active archive, high performance deduplication storage allows enterprises to implement a wide range of corporate IT governance policies that require data be retained and unchanged for fixed periods of time before removing it.

Unlike other CAS and NAS archive and compliance storage products, many of which offer no deduplication and weak throughput, Retention Lock is based on Data Domain’s high-speed inline deduplication storage. This means, where other active archive storage products provide a silo of specialized storage, Data Domain continues to expand its consolidative effect, enabling a consistent storage system for the nearline storage tier, encompassing archiving, remote office backup, datacenter backup, and lower-tiered file storage.
