Forget dedupe just use zfs compression, a lot more bang for your buck
- Joel_Mckay 2y agoUnless your data-set is highly compressed media files. In general, even during rsync operations one often turns off compression on large video files, as the compression operation has low or negative impact on storage/transfers while eating ram and cpu power. De-duplication is good for Virtual Machine OS images, as the majority of the storage cost is a replicated backing image. =3
- bastloing 2y agoCompression is still king. Check out HP's Nimble storage arrays. Way quicker to do compression, fewer iops, and less overhead. Even when it misses, like video files, it's still a winner.
