Summary:Embodiments of the present disclosure include a computer-implemented method, a computer program product, and a system for storing data based, at least partially, on the deduplication rates of a storage system within a storage environment. The computer-implemented method includes receiving data to be stored in a storage environment, computing a hash for the received data, and querying storage deduplication agents for statuses of storage systems within the storage environment. The computer-implemented method also includes receiving deduplication rates and hash tables relating to the storage systems from the storage deduplication agents. The computer-implemented method further includes analyzing stored data stored on the storage systems using the deduplication rates and the hash tables and comparing the stored data to the received data. The computer-implemented method further includes allocating the received data to a storage system within the storage environment based on the comparison of the stored data to the received data.
