Managing Data Deduplication

Deduplication benefits High Optimization Savings • State of the art chunking and compression • Typical savings by workload: VHD Library Software Deployment Share General File Share User Home Folder (My. Docs) Transparent to Primary Server Workload 0% 20% 40% 60% 80% 100% • Minimal IO impact through scheduled and selective optimization • Minimal Server impact through low resource use Reliability and Data Integrity • Built-in insurance against natural risk of data reduction • Data Integrity validation on all data and metadata • Redundancy for metadata and popular chunks Storage AND Network Optimization • Integration with Branch. Cache for faster file download times and reduced bandwidth consumption over WAN

Target Workloads VHD Library Software Deployment File shares Home Folder (My. Docs)
