Maximizes storage of ‘hot or warm data’ on-premise for higher IOPS and/or lower response times for application access. Minimizes size of data transfer and storage in Azure Works at the block-level and replaces duplicate data blocks with a meta data map (pointers to the original block) Data is de-duped in the SSD tier and compressed in the SAS tier before being tiered to Azure On-premise data capacity can be increased by 2x – 5x based on the type of data stored Backup de-dupe: Cloud snapshots are differential and thereby eliminate copies of redundant blocks across backups Data blocks Total data capacity required = 10TB D C A A E C B B B F D C A D E D C A C F 5x de-dupe ratio De-duped Compressed Metadata map Data blocks + Capacity used = 2TB A B C D EF
