It is well known that an (n,k) code can be used to store 'k' units of information in 'n' unit-capacity disks of a distributed data storage system. If the code used is maximum distance separable (MDS), then the system can tolerate any (n-k)…
Data deduplication, one of the key features of modern Big Data storage devices, is the process of removing replicas of data chunks stored by different users. Despite the importance of deduplication, several drawbacks of the method, such as…
