Question
An administrator has been given a new support role for a group of 1000 users, which are all running Windows 10 Linked Clone virtual desktops, The administrator learns quickly that the environment has been undersized with constant complaints from the user community around running out of storage.

Explanation
Deduplication is a process that eliminates duplicate data blocks and reduces the amount of storage space required for virtual desktops. Deduplication can be enabled at both cluster level and container level on Nutanix. Deduplication can also work with VCAI (View Composer Array Integration), which is a feature that uses Nutanix native NFS snapshot technology to clone VMs. VCAI can improve performance and reduce storage consumption for linked-clone desktop pools. Another feature that can help with capacity issue is Shadow Clones, which is a distributed caching mechanism that allows multiple VMs to read from a single vDisk copy stored locally on each node. Shadow Clones can reduce network traffic and improve boot times for virtual desktops.
