Data deduplication is a data optimization technique that identifies and removes duplicate copies of data, significantly reducing storage space requirements and improving system efficiency. By analyzing stored data and keeping only unique instances while replacing redundant ones with references, deduplication minimizes the storage footprint and accelerates data retrieval. VDURA systems utilize advanced deduplication algorithms, which enable efficient use of storage resources, optimizing both performance and cost-effectiveness. This process is particularly beneficial in environments handling large volumes of repetitive data, such as backups or virtualized systems, where deduplication can help streamline storage management and extend storage capacity.
