  • Method and apparatus for random access of data stored in a sequential manner
    Patent number: 9740704
    Abstract: A deduplication engine is operable to select at least two chunks of data for deduplication and deduplicate the selected at least two chunks of data. A first store is operable to store the deduplicated chunks of data in a sequential manner, and a second store is operable to store at least a portion of at least one chunk of the deduplicated data in a manner to allow random access, where data is accessed via the first and/or second store.

  • Data Deduplication Apparatus and Method for Storing Data Received in a Data Stream From a Data Store
    Publication number: 20110022718
    Abstract: A method of storing data received in a data stream from a data source is disclosed in which prior to performing deduplication on the data stream a processor decompresses selected compressed data entities in the data stream to provide a decompressed form of the data entities in the data stream in place of the compressed form, the data stream including the decompressed data entities is deduplicated and the deduplicated data is stored to a deduplicated data store.
