EMC has really stepped up its game with VNX Block
Deduplication. This new feature for the VNX5400, 5600, 5800, 7600 and 8000 (VNX2)
arrays consolidates a set of block storage objects in a way that only one data
copy is used by many sources. This can allow for significant data space savings.
By using the fixed block deduplication method with a set size of 8 KB, redundant
data is removed from a dataset.
In the coming days I will overview and break down the
process of VNX Block Deduplication.
