2.4. Examples of VDO requirements by physical size
VDO system requirements vary by physical volume size and deployment type, with specific RAM and disk usage examples for primary storage and backup storage scenarios.
The following tables provide approximate system requirements of VDO based on the physical size of the underlying volume. Each table lists requirements appropriate to the intended deployment, such as primary storage or backup storage.
The exact numbers depend on your configuration of the VDO volume.
- Primary storage deployment
In the primary storage case, the UDS index is between 0.01% to 25% the size of the physical size.

- Backup storage deployment
In the backup storage case, the deduplication window must be larger than the backup set. If you expect the backup set or the physical size to grow in the future, factor this into the index size.
