HOST-BASED DEDUPLICATION USING ARRAY GENERATED DATA TAGS |
| 摘要 |
Exemplary methods, apparatuses, and systems include a host computer detecting a request to utilize data stored at a storage address in an external storage device. The host computer, in response to the detected request, transmits a request to the storage device for a tag that uniquely identifies the data. The tag for the data is received from the storage device. In response to determining that the received tag matches a local mapping of tags stored in the host computer, the host computer utilizes the local mapping of tags to process the detected request. |

1. A computer-implemented method, comprising:
detecting, by a host computer, a request to utilize data stored at a storage address in an external storage device; transmitting, in response to the detected request, a request to the storage device for a tag that uniquely identifies the data; receiving, from the storage device, the tag for the data; determining that the received tag matches a local mapping of tags stored in the host computer, and utilizing the local mapping of tags to process the detected request. |
