19. Managing Data Deduplication

20. Deduplication benefits
High Optimization Savings
State of the art chunking and compression
Typical savings by workload:
Transparent to Primary Server Workload
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 BranchCache for faster file download times and reduced bandwidth consumption over WAN

21. Target Workloads Windows Server Build lab: 82% savings
VHD Library

Deployment
File shares
Home Folder
