Today File & Storage Services Management Key Concepts Managing Data Deduplication

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

High Optimization Savings State of the art chunking and compression Typical savings by workload: Transparent to Primary Server Workload Minimal IO impact 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 BranchCache Deduplication Benefits
