Explanation

When deploying virtual desktops using Citrix's own cloning technology (MCS or PVS), the base disk image is read by many VMs simultaneously. These VMs share nearly identical data blocks, making Deduplication the ideal Nutanix storage efficiency feature. Deduplication identifies and eliminates redundant data blocks across all cloned VMs, dramatically reducing storage footprint. Compression alone would not eliminate the duplicate blocks that Citrix-cloned VMs inherently generate. Deduplication is specifically designed for this high-redundancy use case.
