Re: Thin Provision & Data Deduplication

I dont think i'm entirely sure what your setup looks like.  Is the 490GB a VMFS/NFS datastore or a thin provisioned VMDK file attched to a VM?

 

Generally speaking, vSphere wont see any dedupe savings.  They are usually there so you can overprovision at the SAN/Storage Appliance level.

 

eg within your Windows Storage Server 2012 you can effectively serve 690 GB of data on a 490GB disk.
