Abstract
A method is used in managing inline data compression and deduplication in storage systems. A block of data from data stored in a cache of a storage system is identified based on entropy. Entropy of the block of data is compared with a first threshold value. Based on the comparison, the block of data is either deduplicated or compressed without deduplication.
