NetApp Certified Data Administrator (NCDA) – E-Series — Question 89

As an administrator, you are asked to enable deduplication on volumes that are separated by workloads on a FAS8200 system.
On which volume would you see the highest savings from enabling deduplication?

Answer options

• A. home directory shares
• B. virtual desktop environment
• C. file share
• D. SQL database

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The virtual desktop environment typically contains many identical images and files, making it a prime candidate for deduplication, which can lead to significant space savings. In contrast, the other options, such as home directory shares, file shares, and SQL databases, generally have more unique data, resulting in lower deduplication savings.
