A file server is being migrated from physical hardware into a private cloud. Baselining of the server shows the disks average 90% full at all times. The contents of the file server consist mostly of c

Compression reduces the size of individual files, but since the existing files are already compressed audio, further compression would yield minimal gains or none.

Thin provisioning allows storage to be presented as larger than it physically is, allocating space only as data is written, but it does not reduce the actual amount of data stored when it's already 90% full with existing content.

Deduplication identifies and eliminates redundant copies of data at the block level, storing only one unique instance of each block and replacing others with pointers, which significantly reduces storage space, especially with many duplicate files.

Tokenization replaces sensitive data with a unique, non-sensitive identifier (token) to enhance security, which is unrelated to minimizing storage utilization.
