What standard is used in the calculation of QES storage pool capacity? How can the utilization rate of the storage space be enhanced?
The available storage pool capacity in QES is calculated by subtracting the space needed for ZFS from the effective capacity after the RAID is formed.

QES provides technologies such as data compression, deduplication, and thin provisioning to increase storage space utilization.
Furthermore, pre-integrated environments are provided for some mainstream application platforms. For example, the VMware Reclaim command to storage devices allows the effective utilization of deleted storage blocks.
Data compression and deduplication can increase storage space utilization.
