Deduplication is a widely studied capacity optimization technique that replaces redundant regions of data with references. Not only is deduplication an ongoing area of academic research, numerous vendors have deduplicated storage products. Historically, most deduplication related publications focus on a narrow range of topics: maximizing deduplication ratios and read/write performance. While future research will continue to optimize these areas, we believe that there are numerous novel, deduplication-specific problems that have been largely ignored in the academic community. Based on feedback from customers as well as internal architecture discussions, we present new deduplication problems that will hopefully spur the next generation of research.
