Duplicate elimination service

Duplicate elimination is the process of merging the data associated with two or more identical objects. For objects to be identical, their data content must match exactly. By eliminating duplicates, HCP increases the amount of space available for storing additional objects.

For example, if the same document is added to several different directories, duplicate elimination ensures that each copy of the document content that HCP must maintain in the repository is stored in only one location. This saves the space that would have been used by the additional copies of the document.

The duplicate elimination service runs according to the active service schedule. For information on service schedules, see Scheduling services.

Note: The duplicate elimination service does not eliminate duplicate objects stored through namespaces that have economy storage devices set as their ingest tier. For information on ingest tiers, see Choose the ingest tier.
