Abstract

A method, computer program product, and computing system for receiving a read request on a first cache system, wherein the read request identifies previously-written content included within a data array. A read request content identifier associated with the previously-written content identified in the read request is received from the data array. The read request content identifier associated with the previously-written content identified in the read request is compared to a plurality of content identifiers included within a content directory for the first cache system to determine if a matching content identifier exists. Each of the plurality of content identifiers is associated with a piece of previously-written content included within the first cache system.
