Techniques for fast provisioning of virtual machine images using deduplication metadata are described, including receiving a request to copy a first virtual machine to form a second virtual machine, identifying a first portion of memory comprising data for the first virtual machine; and forming the second virtual machine based on the first portion of memory comprising data for the first virtual machine, wherein forming the second virtual machine further comprises linking the second virtual machine to the first portion of memory comprising data for the first virtual machine, and implementing a second portion of memory to store data for the second virtual machine independent of the first virtual machine.

Method and apparatus for replicating virtual machine images using deduplication metadata

Techniques for deduplication of virtual machine files in a virtualized desktop environment are described, including receiving data into a page cache, the data being received from a virtual machine and indicating a write operation, and deduplicating the data in the page cache prior to committing the data to storage, the data being deduplicated in-band and in substantially real-time.
