Key Concepts Today Managing File & Storage Data. Services Management Deduplication

Maximize capacity by removing duplicate data VHD Library • 2: 1 with file shares, 20: 1 with virtual storage • Less data to back up, archive, and migrate Software Deployment Share Increased scale and performance • Low CPU and memory impact • Configurable compression schedule • Transparent to primary server workload General File Share Improved reliability and integrity • Redundant metadata and critical data • Checksums and integrity checks • Increase availability through redundancy User Home Folder (My Docs) 0% 20% 40% 60% 80% 100% Average savings with Data Deduplication by workload type Source: “Microsoft Internal Testing" Faster file download times with Branch. Cache

Deduplication Benefits High Optimization Savings • State of the art chunking and compression • Typical savings by workload: Savings % VHD Library Software Deployment Sha. . . General File Share User Home Folder. . . Transparent to Primary Server Workload Reliability and Data Integrity Storage AND Network Optimization 0% 20% 40% 60% 80% • Minimal IO impact • Minimal Server impact through low resource use • Built-in insurance against natural risk of data reduction • Data Integrity validation on all data and metadata • Redundancy for metadata and popular chunks • Integration with Branch.
