Managing Data Reduction
Data Reduction uses compression and deduplication to decrease the amount of disk space used by volume data. Compression reduces the
amount of space used by a volume by encoding data. Deduplication nds duplicate pages and removes them, conserving the disk space
that would be used by additional copies. When deduplication is used, compression is also applied to a volume.
NOTE
: Data Reduction is available in Storage Center version 7.0 or later.
