Technologies are described herein for reducing network traffic when replicating memory data across hosts. The memory data stored in a main memory of the host computer is replicated to a main memory of a second host computer. Memory data from the local data storage of the second host computer that is a duplicate of memory data from the main memory is identified. Instead of sending the memory data from the main memory that is duplicated, the duplicated memory is copied from the local storage to the main memory of the second host computer.
