Abstract
A data de-duplication system includes a storage device that includes multiple data sets, a fixed read-only storage area, and a processing device configured to perform certain functions. The system determines whether each of the multiple data sets has met a common pattern criteria, and if so, identifies the data set as a candidate data set for de-duplication. The common pattern criteria is indicative of whether a chunk data is frequently accessed among multiple users on a cloud. The system stores data in at least one candidate data sets in the fixed storage area. For each of the at least candidate data sets, the system generates a unique pointer that corresponds to a location of the at least one candidate data sets in the fixed storage area. The system further uses the pointers to de-duplicate the at least one candidate data sets.
