Abstract
Various embodiments for enhancing storage of deduplicated data in a computing storage environment. Analytics are applied to at least one data storage characteristic observed in the computing storage environment to restructure the deduplicated data in a more sequential manner so as to enhance performance of the computing storage environment. A type of storage device associated with the deduplicated data is monitored, and the analytics are withheld from application when the type of storage device is determined to be a solid-state device. The restructuring of the deduplicated data in the sequential manner is performed by comparing the at least one data storage characteristic against at least one predetermined thresholds, one of the at least one predetermined thresholds prohibiting a particular block of the deduplicated data from being restructured when the particular block of deduplicated data has been previously moved in the computing storage environment within a predefined timeframe.
