The automatic elimination of duplicate data in a storage system, commonly known as
deduplication, is increasingly accepted as an effective technique to reduce storage costs …

A system and method for instantiation of a virtual machine (VM) in a datacenter includes
providing a network appliance in a location for listening to management information traffic …

Virtualization is becoming widely deployed in servers to efficiently provide many logically
separate execution environments while reducing the need for physical servers. While this …

File systems hosting virtual machines typically contain many duplicated blocks of data
resulting in wasted storage space and increased storage array cache footprint …

This paper presents a new disk I/O architecture composed of an array of a flash memory
SSD (solid state disk) and a hard disk drive (HDD) that are intelligently coupled by a special …

The Internet suspend/resume model of mobile computing cuts the tight binding between PC
state and PC hardware. By layering a virtual machine on distributed storage, ISR lets the VM …

Deduplication is known to effectively eliminate duplicates, yet it introduces fragmentation
that degrades read performance. We propose RevDedup, a deduplication system that …

Deduplication is an approach of avoiding storing data blocks with identical content, and has
been shown to effectively reduce the disk space for storing multi-gigabyte virtual machine …

Data deduplication has been demonstrated to be an effective technique in reducing the total
data transferred over the network and the storage space in cloud backup, archiving, and …

Live virtual machine migration is a powerful feature of virtualization technologies. It enables
efficient load balancing, reduces energy consumption through dynamic consolidation, and …
