Abstract: A system and method relating to multi-level data de-duplication operations relating to data records associated with multiple user systems. The system includes a first set of computing instances execute a first set of de-duplication operations to generate a set of locally de-duplicated files associated with a data stream comprising the data records associated with the user systems. The system includes a storage system to store the set of locally de-duplicated files. The system includes a second set of computing instances to receive, in accordance with a frequency type of multiple frequency types, the set of locally de-duplicated files from the storage system and execute a second set of de-duplication operations to generate a set of globally de-duplicated files associated with the data records.
