VDO is a piece of software that provides inline block-level deduplication, compression, and thin provisioning capabilities for primary storage. VDO installs within the Linux device mapper framework where it takes ownership of existing block devices and remaps these to new, higher-level block devices with data-efficiency capabilities.
