Abstract

In this paper, we discuss the design of a data normalization system that we term commonalityfactoring. A real-world implementation of a storage system based upon data normalization requires design of the data normalization itself, of the storage repository for the data, and of the protocols to be used between applications performing data normalization and the serversoftware of the repository. Each of these areas is discussed and potential applications are presented. Building on research begun in 1999, Avamar Technologies has implemented an initial application of this technology to provide a nearline, disk-based system for backup ofprimary storage.
