Abstract
Techniques and mechanisms described herein facilitate the transmission of a data stream to a networked storage system. According to various embodiments, a determination may be made as to whether an amount of available computing resources at a client device meets or exceeds a computing resource availability threshold at the client device. A processing operation on a data stream may be performed at the client device to produce a pre-processed data stream when the amount of available computing resources meets or exceeds the computing resource availability threshold. The pre-processed data stream may be transmitted to a networked storage system for storage via a network. The networked storage system may be operable to store deduplicated data for retrieval via the network.
