Deduplication using Cloud Computing

There has been decreased reliance on the deployment and maintenance of local storages as the cloud infrastructure has been consistently getting improved over time. The paradigm shift in the data storage department from local storages to cloud solutions has been aggressive. This is due to the fact that the cloud solution allows for a much convenient and hassle free experience that can allow for a much better handling and perseverance of data. There are a large number of organizations that utilize these services of which large number of employees access a singular file that leads to a lot of duplicates. The duplicates can take up unnecessary space which can be problematic with limited space and expensive online storage options. Therefore, there is a need for a de duplication mechanism where the duplicates on a shared cloud storage can be eliminated to improve experience and reduce storage consumption. The proposed approach utilizes the Amazon RDS approach which achieves highly satisfactory results.
