Abstract

A deduplication storage capacity is estimated as a function of an expected deduplication ratio, the expected deduplication ratio being a combined average of a current deduplication ratio and a configured deduplication ratio, the current deduplication ratio depending on the data currently stored in the deduplication storage, and the configured deduplication ratio being an estimate made at a configuration stage of the deduplication computing storage environment.
