Data Deduplication Chunking Mechanism

Data Deduplication is a Windows Server feature designed to save storage space. It works by finding and removing duplicate copies of the same data within files, storing only one unique copy and creating pointers to it. This process preserves the original files while significantly reducing the amount of physical disk space they use. In a hybrid environment, this is especially valuable because it lowers storage costs and can reduce the amount of data that needs to be transferred over the network.
