Data deduplication on Windows Server 2022
Double Trouble
Conclusions
Data deduplication in Windows Server 2022 is a powerful tool that can significantly improve the efficiency and management of server storage resources. One of the main advantages is the significant reduction in storage space requirements by eliminating redundant data on the server, which in turn drives cost savings and enables more efficient storage management, especially in environments with large volumes of data. Network bandwidth is also conserved by reducing the data transfer volumes for backup and replication.
On the downside, deduplication can generate CPU and memory load, potentially causing performance issues in server environments that are already heavily utilized. Also, some file types do not lend themselves to deduplication – specifically, compressed data or data prone to rapid change, such as databases or real-time logfiles.
