A technical architect is working with a customer to design a Dell Unity XT solution...

The technical architect should recommend enabling data reduction storage service when the system has free capacity above 80%. Data reduction technologies such as compression and deduplication reduce the amount of storage needed by eliminating duplicates and compressing data. However, these technologies can consume additional resources, particularly CPU. Enabling data reduction on a system that is already running low on free capacity would create additional resource contention and negatively impact performance.
