A Survey on Data Deduplication in Cloud Storage Environment.

Abstract

With the increasing use of cloud storage platform for storage and processing, there is a growing demand of some mechanism or methodology which will provide the facility of eliminating redundant data and thereby achieving better space and bandwidth requirements of storage services. In other words, it should provide a capability of a better efficiency when applied across multiple users. In this context, Cloud Service Providers normally use Deduplication , which stores only a single copy of each file or block by eliminating redundant data. But providing a secure Deduplication is an uphill task. In this regard, an effort is made to present a survey on the different aspects of Deduplication
