Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
Techniques are described herein that are capable of optimizing (i.e., deduplicating) data in a virtualization environment. For example, optimization designations (a.k.a. deduplication designations) may be assigned to respective regions of a virtualized storage file. A virtualized storage file is a file that is configured to be mounted as a disk or a volume to provide a file system interface for accessing hosted files. In accordance with this example, each optimization designation indicates an extent to which the respective region is to be optimized (i.e., deduplicated). In another example, a virtualized storage file is mounted to provide a virtual disk that includes hosted files. In accordance with this example, optimization designations are assigned to the respective hosted files. In further accordance with this example, each optimization designation indicates an extent to which the respective hosted file is to be optimized.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A method comprising: assigning a plurality of optimization designations to a plurality of regions of a virtualized storage file, the plurality of regions corresponding to a plurality of respective virtualized storage file offsets in the virtualized storage file, each optimization designation being assigned to a respective region of the plurality of regions based on at least one property of a hosted file that is mapped to the respective virtualized storage fi…
