This helps reduce the network traffic by not copying files that already exist. Instead, we add a mapping reference between that file and the new package that we are distributing. If a file to be distributed is already present on the distribution point as part of another package or part of a previous version of the same package, that file is not copied to the distribution point. When distributing a package, we first analyze all the files in that package. This minimizes the disk space consumption. If two different packages each contain a particular file that is identical (even if the file names are different), only one copy of this file will be stored by the content library. The rationale for content library is to optimize disk storage and to avoid distributing a file that already exists on the distribution points. Note: The content library is also known as the “single-instance store”, referring to the single instance of any particular file. ![]() The focus of this blog is to provide more insights on what happens behind the scenes and help Configuration Manager users and administrators to understand the concept better. However, references are kept indicating that the file is part of both the packages. If the same file is part of two different packages, it stores only one copy in the content library. In a nut-shell, the content library stores all the Configuration Manager content efficiently on the disk. The content library is a new concept that was introduced in System Center 2012 Configuration Manager. ![]()
