Technologies are presented for deduplicating data storage across multiple separate users in a datacenter environment. In some examples, the deduplication may take into consideration separate encryption and packaging of various inactive data modules and machine instances, and may be performed based on customer proactive flagging of data as available for deduplication. Billing system records may be employed to track saved space for incentivizing users through discounts and as a garbage collection master reference for tracking usage of deduplication packages, which may otherwise be difficult in the multi-package environment. |
