Abstract

In one general aspect, a method can include receiving initial content including a total number of data units for storage, identifying a number of data chunks, identifying a size for each of the data chunks, the size for each data chunk indicative of a number of data units for inclusion in the respective data chunk. The method can further include splitting the initial content into the number of data chunks, each data chunk including a portion of the total number of data units included in the initial content, the portion of the total number of data units based on the size of the data chunk, storing each of the data chunks in memory, and compressing the data chunks included in the memory.
