Abstract
Storage efficiency driven migration includes: determining a level of similarity between first data stored on a first storage system and second data stored on a second storage system; determining, in dependence upon the level of similarity, that an expected amount of storage space reduction from migrating similar data exceeds a threshold level; and responsive to determining that the expected amount of storage space reduction exceeds the threshold level, initiating a migration of one or more portions of the first data from the first storage system to the second storage system.
