Method for Exposing Computer Program Product and Storage Optimization Details

摘要

method for exposing the computer program product and storage optimization details. The present invention relates to computer program methods, systems, and products for end-to-end optimization of data storage (120) and data transmission. The details of how data is stored within a data store (120) are exposed to clients and applications. Clients and applications are allowed to make requests to data stores 120 to obtain data as they are actually stored within data storage 120 to eliminate redundant processing of the requested data. data compression and deduplication within a data store 120 is leveraged to increase efficiency and reduce the latency of data transmitted over a lan or wan.
