Question
You have a server that runs Windows Server and has the following volumes:
- Volume E: Contains user home folders
- Volume F: Contains Microsoft SQL Server database
- Volume G: Contains Hyper-V VHD files
- Volume H: Contains Data Protection Manager (DPM) backup files
- Volume I: Hosts shared folders that contain documents
You need to implement Data Deduplication. The solution must optimize storage utilization on the volumes.
On which three volumes should you enable Data Deduplication? Each answer is a complete solution.
Suggested answer
- Volume E
- Volume H
- Volume I
Correct answer
Correct Answer
- Volume E
- Volume H
- Volume I
Good candidates for Data Deduplication are volumes with workloads, such as:
- General purpose file servers (GPFS) serving shares, such as team shares, user home folders, work folders, and software development shares
- Virtualized backup applications, such as DPM
- Virtual Desktop infrastructure (VDI) servers
Data Deduplication is less beneficial for workloads such as SQL Server databases, Hyper-V VHDs.
