Overview of Huawei's AI Development Strategy and Full-Stack, All-Scenario AI Portfolio

Deduplication and compression capabilities of Huawei converged storage systems are broadly used in real production environments, particularly for virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) and database workloads. Which of the following statements about data deduplication and compression is false?

  • A In the adaptive deduplication and compression process, if the system detects that the fingerprints are different of the bytes are different after byte-by-byte comparison, the system compresses the data blocks.
  • B During inline deduplication, the system checks whether the fingerprint exists in the fingerprint library. If yes, the system determines that the block is an old block.
  • C During similarity-based deduplication in the background, the background analyzes the similarity-based deduplication opportunity table and performs similarity-based deduplication on data blocks with the same Similar Fingerprint (SFP).
  • D Backup storage supports deduplication and compression of file systems. For LUNs, only deduplication is supported.
Explanation

Huawei supports both SmartDedupe and SmartCompression for LUNs in supported all-flash storage pools. Therefore, the assertion that LUNs support only deduplication, while file systems support both deduplication and compression, is incorrect.
