Abstract
A data storage technique involves detecting that candidate data is deduplicatable within a storage array. The technique further involves, in response to detecting that the candidate data is deduplicatable within the storage array, evaluating whether to perform a compression operation on the candidate data in place of performing a deduplication operation on the candidate data and providing an optimization decision indicating whether to perform the deduplication operation on the candidate data in place of performing the deduplication operation on the candidate data. The technique further involves performing, within the storage array, a storage optimization operation on the candidate data based on the optimization decision, the storage optimization operation including one of the deduplication operation to deduplicate the candidate data and the compression operation to compress the candidate data.
