Abstract
A method for deduplicating at a global server for multiple storage servers includes receiving, from a storage server, a request to store a data chunk, determining whether the data chunk is highly-duplicated among the storage servers, accepting the request when the data chunk is highly-duplicated, and rejecting the request when the data chunk is not highly-duplicated.
