Alternative Approaches for Deduplication in Cloud Storage Environment

摘要

Cloud Storage is a model, in which data is stored on multiple dedicated online storage servers. Individuals, enterprises or organizations use private cloud storage to store their data. Since private cloud storage has limited resources, they need to be utilized optimally, by accommodating maximum data. Data deduplication is an effective data compression technique for eliminating duplicate copies of repeating data to optimize the utilization of storage space. This paper implements the data deduplication based on the file name through a case study and investigates its benefits and overheads.
