Running a replica stored on a dedup appliance

[zak2011]

Running Instant Recovery from a dedup device at the DR site is always going to be slower than running it from a normal storage as dedup devices were built that way. How quick would running a replica VM stored on a dedup device differ?

Thanks

Well, it depends!
Which dedup device are you talking about? If it's using inline dedup it will be slower for sure, if it's post-dedupe usually the last version of every backup is kept in a non-deduped state so it can be run as it would in a normal storage.

I was talking about the Data Domain DD640. How would the performance of the replicas be from this?

Poor.
