Systems and methods for image deduplication in a file are provided. A method includes identifying a plurality of similar images (e.g., similar intent images) in an electronic document. The method also includes designating one of the plurality of similar images as a master copy. The method also includes replacing each remaining one of the plurality of similar images, other than the master copy, with one of (i) a duplicate copy of the master copy and (ii) a soft link pointing to the master copy.

Methods and systems for enhancing reliability in deduplication over storage clouds are provided. A method includes: determining a weight for each of a plurality of duplicate files based on parameters associated with a respective storage device of each of the plurality of duplicate files; and designating one of the plurality of duplicate files as a master copy based on the determined weight.

Embodiments of the present invention provide a system, method, and program product for allocating a block of physical storage space on a write surface of a hard disk drive. A computer system maintains a write count for each block on the hard disk drive. After receiving an allocation request, the computer system identifies one or more candidate blocks of storage space on the hard disk drive that can be selected to fulfill the allocation request. The computer system determines an estimated write count and identifies one or more allocated blocks whose write counts are within a specified number of write operations of the estimated write count. The computer system selects a candidate block based, at least in part, on physical proximity of the candidate block to one or more of the allocated blocks whose write counts are within a specified number of write operations of the estimated write count.

Embodiments of the present invention provide a system, method, and program product for defragmenting files on a hard disk drive. A computer system identifies a plurality of movable blocks on a hard disk drive. The computer system categorizes each of the movable blocks into a category based on the write count of each movable block, wherein the movable blocks categorized into a first category have higher write counts than the movable blocks categorized into a second category. The computer system relocates the movable blocks of the first category to a first group of one or more adjacent tracks, and the computer system relocates the movable blocks of the second category to a second group of one or more adjacent tracks, wherein the first group of one or more adjacent tracks and the second group of one or more adjacent tracks share, at most, one common track.

Tenant driven security in a storage cloud is provided. A method includes determining whether a tenant places a physical key into a slot associated with a hard disk provided by a service provider. The method further includes allowing the tenant to have access to the hard disk after determining that the tenant has placed the physical key into the slot.

A method implemented in a computer infrastructure including a combination of hardware and software includes receiving from a local computing device a request to securely delete a file. The method also includes determining the file is deduplicated. The method further includes determining one of: the file is referred to by at least one other file, and the file is not referred to by another file. The method additionally includes securely deleting links associating the file with the local computing device without deleting the file when the file is referred to by at least one other file. The method also includes securely deleting the file when the file is not referred to by another file.
摘要:
Methods and systems for controlling a geographic region of data in cloud computing are described. A method implemented in a computer infrastructure including a combination of hardware and software includes: receiving a request from a local computing device to save data on a network including a plurality of data storage locations in a plurality of different geographic regions; determining a specified geographic region of the plurality of different geographic regions by analyzing at least one of: (i) file attributes associated with the data, and (ii) predefined rules; identifying one of the plurality of data storage locations within the specified geographic region based on the determining step; and routing the data to the identified one of the plurality of data storage locations within the specified geographic region.
摘要:
A tool for notifying a recipient of an email message, belonging to an email thread, that a recipient address has been added to or dropped from the thread. Address fields of the email message received are compared to the address fields of the most recent prior email message in the thread. Addressed that are determined to be added or dropped are stored in the metadata of the email message received so the added or dropped recipient addresses can be accessed to notify recipients of subsequent emails in the email thread. The metadata of previous email messages in the email thread are accessed to notify the recipient of recipient addresses added or dropped between any two consecutive email messages in the thread.
