Abstract

Data reduction holds the promise most sought after for solid-state storage: lower cost. In some cases, data reduced SSD arrays can cost less than hard disk drive solutions. We will discuss data reduction techniques including compression, block de-duplication, thin provisioning and how these techniques tax host resources, impact performance and flash wear, and can enhance your storage capacity and save you money. The solutions discussed will include not only pre-built appliances, but also software-only solutions that can be deployed on existing data center storage arrays.
