Yes, Smart Storage supports data compression and deduplication to optimize storage efficiency and reduce costs.

Explanation:

  • Data Compression: Reduces the size of stored data by eliminating redundancies in the file content, saving storage space.
  • Deduplication: Identifies and removes duplicate copies of identical data blocks, ensuring only unique data is stored.

Example:
If multiple users upload the same 1GB file, deduplication ensures only one copy is stored, while compression further reduces its size (e.g., to 500MB). This is especially useful for backup systems or collaborative environments.

For such needs, Tencent Cloud's CBS (Cloud Block Storage) and COS (Cloud Object Storage) offer built-in compression and deduplication features, enhancing storage performance and cost-effectiveness.
