Add data deduplication for all package management, such as software delivery and patch management.
An example of this would be if a consumer were rolling out 5 packages, all installing exactly the same NDP451-KB2858728-x86-x64-AllOS-ENU.exe (.NET 4.5 framework) having a size of 67 MB to a 10000 node environment.
| Type | Packages | Package Size in MB | Number of Nodes | Size in MB | Size inTB | Acquired Disk Space in TB |
| Without Data Deduplication | 5 | 67 | 10000 | 3350000 | 3.35 | |
| With Data Deduplication | 5 | 67 | 10000 | 670000 | 0.67 | 2.68 |
Another example would be patch management having different packages for the same file.
| Patch | PackageId | FileName | Package Size in MB | Number of Nodes | Size in MB | Size in TB |
