Cloud storage as one of the most important services of cloud computing which significantly
facilitates cloud users to outsource their data to the cloud for storage and share them with …

There is a huge amount of duplicated or redundant data in current storage systems. So data
de-duplication, which uses lossless data compression schemes to minimize the duplicated …

In chunk-based deduplication systems, logically consecutive chunks are physically scattered
in different containers after deduplication, which results in the serious fragmentation …

Cloud storage services possibly store only a single copy of redundant data to save disk
space and provide links to that copy rather storing other actual copies of data. This is called …

In the era of big data, data explosion has brought challenges to cloud storage management.
To improve cloud storage efficiency and save network communication bandwidth, cloud data …

Content-Defined Chunking (CDC) has been playing a key role in data deduplication
systems in the past 15 years or so due to its high redundancy detection abil-ity. However …

Data grows at the impressive rate of 50% per year, and 75% of the digital world is a copy!
Although keeping multiple copies of data is necessary to guarantee their availability and …

Chunking is a process to split a file into smaller files called chunks. In some applications,
such as remote data compression, data synchronization, and data deduplication, chunking …

In deduplication-based backup systems, the chunks of each backup are physically scattered
after deduplication, which causes a challenging fragmentation problem. The fragmentation …

Data deduplication is dramatically improving IT economics by minimizing storage footprint
requirements, backup windows, and network bandwidth consumption in distributed …
