Dell Storage with Microsoft Storage Spaces Best Practices Guide
Deduplication
Deduplication is a method of reducing storage needs by eliminating redundant data. Deduplication is supported on SOFS, however, there are some important caveats including the fact that it is not supported on Hyper-V hosts or hosts running SQL server. The only exception is VDI VHDs.
Great candidates for deduplication:
- Folder redirection servers
- Software deployment shares
- SQL Server and Exchange Server backup volumes
- VDI VHDs
