Dynamic Data Normalization (Erl, Naserpour)

How can redundant data within cloud storage devices be automatically avoided?

Dynamic Data Normalization

Problem

Cloud consumers may store large volumes of redundant data within cloud storage devices, thereby bloating the storage architecture and compromising data access performance.

Solution

Data received by cloud consumers is automatically normalized so that redundant data is avoided and cloud storage device capacity and performance is optimized.

Application

Data de-duplication technology is used to detect and eliminate redundant data at block or file-based levels.

Mechanisms

Cloud Storage Device

Compound Patterns

Burst In, Burst Out to Private Cloud, Burst Out to Public Cloud, Cloud Authentication, Cloud Balancing, Elastic Environment, Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS), Isolated Trust Boundary, Multitenant Environment, Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS), Private Cloud, Public Cloud, Resilient Environment, Resource Workload Management, Secure Burst Out to Private Cloud/Public Cloud, Software-as-a-Service (SaaS)

Dynamic Data Normalization: In Part A, datasets containing redundant data unnecessarily bloat data storage. The Dynamic Data Normalization pattern results in the constant and automatic streamlining of data as shown in Part B, regardless of how denormalized the data received from the cloud consumer is.
