Data reduction with the Dell EMC PowerMax system delivers a boost to system efficiency by combining inline compression, inline deduplication and pattern detection. Paring these techniques of capacity savings creates a system where users can achieve great capacity savings on reducible data. Data Reduction not only compresses data it also eliminates redundant copies of compressed data and delivers great performance. The contents of this technical white paper are intended to inform the reader how Data Reduction functions within the Dell EMC PowerMax systems.
