The exponential growth of digital data in cloud storage systems is a critical issue presently
as a large amount of duplicate data in the storage systems exerts an extra load on it …

Data deduplication, an efficient approach to data reduction, has gained increasing attention
and popularity in large-scale storage systems due to the explosive growth of digital data. It …

Multiple access-based collision avoidance MAC protocols have typically used fixed
transmission power, and have not considered power control mechanisms based on the …

Data deduplication has become a standard component in modern backup systems. In order
to understand the fundamental tradeoffs in each of its design choices (such as prefetching …

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 …

Replicating data off site is critical for disaster recovery reasons, but the current approach of
transferring tapes is cumbersome and error prone. Replicating across a wide area network …

BACKGROUND In a deduplicating storage system, content is typically divided into variable-
sized" chunks' based on characteristics of the data. If a hash of a chunk, also known as a …

Provided herein is technology relating to data deduplication and particularly, but not
exclusively, to methods and systems for determining an efficiently optimal size of data blocks …

Content-Defined Chunking (CDC) has been playing a key role in data deduplication
systems recently due to its high redundancy detection ability. However, existing CDC-based …

Data deduplication is widely used to reduce the size of backup workloads, but it has the
known disadvantage of causing poor data locality, also referred to as the fragmentation …
