DEDUPLICATION FOR CLOUD STORAGE OPERATIONS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240232139 titled 'DEDUPLICATION FOR CLOUD STORAGE OPERATIONS
The method described in the abstract involves computing hash values for multiple files during a file tiering operation, comparing these hash values to identify duplicate files, and transferring them to a cloud storage platform.
- The method computes hash values for files during a file tiering operation.
- It compares these hash values to determine duplicate files.
- Duplicate files are identified and transferred to a cloud storage platform.
Potential Applications: - Data deduplication in cloud storage systems. - Efficient file management in large-scale storage environments.
Problems Solved: - Reducing storage space by identifying and eliminating duplicate files. - Streamlining file transfer processes between storage locations.
Benefits: - Cost savings by optimizing storage space usage. - Improved data organization and retrieval efficiency.
Commercial Applications: Title: Data Deduplication Technology for Cloud Storage Systems This technology can be used in cloud storage services to enhance data management and optimize storage resources. It can benefit companies that deal with large volumes of data and need efficient storage solutions.
Questions about Data Deduplication Technology for Cloud Storage Systems: 1. How does data deduplication help in optimizing storage space? Data deduplication eliminates redundant data, reducing the overall storage space required for files. 2. What are the key advantages of using hash values to identify duplicate files? Hash values provide a unique identifier for each file, enabling efficient comparison and detection of duplicates.
Original Abstract Submitted
a method comprises computing a hash value for at least one file of a plurality of files in connection with a file tiering operation of the plurality of files from a source storage location to a target storage location. the hash value is compared to one or more hash values corresponding to one or more other files of the plurality of files. based at least in part on the comparing, a determination is made whether the hash value is the same as any of the one or more hash values. the at least one file is identified as a duplicate file in response to an affirmative determination. the target storage location comprises a cloud storage platform.
