If we would talk about OSS systems then Dragon Fly BSD's hammerfs
or
Open Indiana ZFS (FreeBSD has it too) support deduplication and such
filesystems are exported as NFS (so can be used as data domain).
If you would not use Linux (as they broke having /usr as separate
filesystem) and you would design your unix-like VMs correctly, you can
share a disk containing "static" data like /usr, /usr/local between
VMs as a kind of "deduplication" without being "trapped" by buzzword
technologies.
