IDC Whitepaper cites that primary data deduplication have the most dramatic impact on data footprint reduction. See why deduplication is becoming a vital practice in the present IT infrastracture and how it can improve server efficiency while cutting down cost.

The inspiration behind this exercise was the growing adoption of virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) in enterprise business environments. Virtual server environments tend to have a very high level of redundancy, so deduplication can lead to large reductions in the amount of storage capacity required.
