Simply put, it’s really really hard to process data on the fly without affecting performance, especially as data scales up to the multi-terabyte range or as systems scale out to include multiple devices. One approach to tackling this issue is post-processing dedupe, which accepts incoming data in the normal way but goes back and processes it later to remove duplicates. This is the method NetApp uses, and they have leveraged it to become the first vendor to support deduplication of production applications.
