SG0-001 · Question #402

Which of the following is true of both deduplication and compression?

The correct answer is D. Less physical space is required to store the data. The question asks for a shared characteristic of both data deduplication and data compression technologies.

Why each option

The question asks for a shared characteristic of both data deduplication and data compression technologies.

AData is more resilient to bad blocks and redundancy

Deduplication and compression do not inherently make data more resilient to bad blocks or add redundancy; they primarily reduce space, while redundancy is typically handled by RAID or replication.

BData access is faster for both read and write

Data access is generally slower, not faster, for both read and write operations because processing (compression/decompression or deduplication/rehydration) overhead is introduced.

CCompression and deduplication rates are uniform across data sets

Compression and deduplication rates are highly variable and depend entirely on the characteristics of the data set; some data compresses or deduplicates much better than others.

DLess physical space is required to store the dataCorrect

Both deduplication and compression are data reduction technologies designed to minimize the physical storage space required for data. Deduplication achieves this by eliminating redundant copies of data, while compression achieves it by encoding data into a more compact form. The primary goal and benefit of both techniques is to store more data on less physical storage.
