Abstract
Among other things, a technique of data deduplication using multiple devices includes presenting, to host devices, a quantity of logical data storage greater than physical data storage available on a storage area network (SAN) device, by deduplicating at least some of the data received from the host devices for storage at the SAN device in a manner that is coordinated with over-provisioning capability of the SAN device.
