Data reduction

Data reduction

  • Snapshots are fully compatible with the data-reduction methods that PowerStore uses, which includes deduplication and compression. Since all blocks written to the drives within the system are shared by all resources within the appliance, all resources, their snapshots, and thin clones support the thin, deduplication, and compression efficiency features of a PowerStore system.
