Episode 66 — Storage Management — Provisioning, Quotas, Compression, and Deduplication
This episode covers the core elements of server storage management, beginning with provisioning storage volumes and assigning them to appropriate applications or users. We explain how disk quotas are implemented to control individual or group usage, how compression can save storage space without significantly impacting performance, and how deduplication identifies and removes redundant data blocks. Each of these techniques is tied to improving efficiency and optimizing available resources.
We then connect these management functions to both exam and real-world contexts, such as applying quotas to prevent a single user from consuming shared storage or enabling deduplication on a backup volume to reduce capacity needs. Troubleshooting tips include identifying when compression impacts performance and verifying that deduplication processes are functioning correctly. Mastering these storage management tools ensures candidates can design and maintain efficient, high-performing storage systems.
