Why A (Deduplication) is the Best Choice: ✅ Highly effective for VDI where many duplicate files exist ✅ Significantly reduces storage needs by removing redundancy ✅ Works at the block level, optimizing storage usage without affecting performance Thus, deduplication is the best option for reducing SAN storage consumption in a VDI environment. ✅

To BEST reduce the storage consumption of the SAN in a VDI (Virtual Desktop Infrastructure) environment, the storage administrator should implement: A. Deduplication. Deduplication is a storage optimization technique that identifies and eliminates redundant data blocks, significantly reducing storage consumption. In VDI environments, where multiple virtual desktops may share similar operating system and application files, deduplication can lead to substantial storage savings without sacrificing performance

Deduplication: Deduplication identifies and eliminates duplicate data, storing only one instance of each unique piece of data. In a VDI environment, where multiple virtual desktops often share similar or identical data (such as OS files), deduplication can significantly reduce storage requirements without sacrificing performance.

Thick provisioning sets the disk size.

Agreed Deduplication makes more sense. What would thick provisioning do to save space?

Thick Provisioning makes no sense. It locks in the size of the disk. Deduplication provides maximum space reduction.
