  • Application transparent deduplication data
    Patent number: 9449013
    Abstract: Mechanisms are provided to allow for application transparent deduplication data. A mail database associated with a mail application can be analyzed to identify attachments meeting particular administrator criteria. The attachments are analyzed and replaced with stubs to allow continued mail application interaction with the mail database. The attachments may be optimized with deduplication and/or compression.
    Type: Grant

  • Maintaining deduplication data in native file formats
    Patent number: 9442951
    Abstract: Mechanisms are provided to maintain deduplication data in native file formats. Files, including entities such as volumes and databases, are analyzed to identify components suitable for deduplication. These components suitable for deduplication are delineated into chunks and identifiers are generated for each of the chunks. The identifiers are used to reference the chunks in deduplication dictionaries that provide locations indicating where deduplicated chunks are stored. The components in the files are replaced with file handles or stubs that applications can use to access deduplicated data. Applications can continue to perform operations on the files as though no deduplication has occurred.
