Data reduction with Dell PowerMax boosts system efficiency by combining inline compression, inline deduplication, and pattern detection. These data-reduction techniques allow users to achieve great capacity savings. Data reduction compresses data and eliminates redundant copies of data. This white paper explains how data reduction functions in the PowerMax 2500 and 8500 systems and describes reporting using management applications such as Dell Unisphere for PowerMax, Dell Solutions Enabler, and Dell Mainframe Enabler.
