Data Deduplication-based Efficient Cloud Optimisation Technique: Optimizing Cloud Storage through Data Deduplication

Published Online on April 8, 2025 by MECS Press

The cloud presents various challenges to standard data deduplication technologies' storage and processing efficiency. Problems emerge naturally in a cloud setting, fixing the significant computational overhead of detecting and removing duplicate data is crucial [1]. Traditional deduplication algorithms employ hash functions to identify data chunks. When processing enormous amounts of data, this can slow processing. Data's unpredictability causes problems for these algorithms [2]. Data duplication is impeded because even a small file change needs reloading the dataset. Tradition solutions usually use a present deduplication policy, which can't operate effectively with changing workloads or data. Long-term, this reduces storage utilisation, massive cloud data transfers require a lot of bandwidth [3]. This increases up consumer costs and latency. Traditional deduplication methods offer little security measures, rendering them vulnerable to data breaches [4]. This attraction requires another evaluation. Due to these limits, content-aware deduplication and machine learning algorithms are critically needed. Intelligently discovering and processing duplicate data could improve deduplication. It has less overhead than traditional methods [5]. Resolving these issues quickly optimises storage space utilisation and boosts cloud data processing efficiency [6].

Data deduplication solutions in cloud environments are facing many issues that are affecting storage and processing [7]. As application data grows in variety and volume, typical deduplication methods struggle to find and eliminate duplicates. As data types grow, especially semi-structured and unstructured data, conventional techniques may struggle to retain accuracy and performance [8]. Even minor modifications may need re-evaluating the entire data, cloud settings' fluctuation makes deduplication ineffective. Data privacy and security during deduplication are another issue [9]. Cloud storage of sensitive data increases the risk of data breaches or unauthorised access during deduplication. With outside service providers, this is more readily apparent. Regulatory compliance requires strict data protection, compounding these challenges [10]. Deduplication can additionally compromise performance for space savings. Due to delay and data retrieval speed, extensive deduplication may improve storage costs however degrade user experience [11]. Overall, deduplication technologies must be integrated into cloud infrastructure and operations quickly. Due to hybrid cloud arrangements, platform-agnostic deduplication is difficult for many enterprises [12]. For cloud data deduplication technologies and cloud processing and storage to improve, these difficulties must be resolved.

Previously developed cloud data deduplication algorithms improve processing and storage efficiency [13]. Content-aware deduplication approaches verify data rather than file signatures, improving accuracy. People accomplish this by examining the material. ML algorithms can quickly spot duplicates and adapt to changing data patterns [14]. Deduplication with encryption-awareness protects data and addresses privacy concerns. Client-side and server-side deduplication in hybrid techniques maximises processing efficiency and bandwidth. Due to distributed deduplication across several cloud environments, workloads may be balanced, improving storage utilisation, latency, cloud performance, and user experience [15].

Cloud computing's exponential data growth has made storage management difficult due to inefficient resource consumption and rising operational costs. Operating costs have increased, causing these issues. Insufficient data security, long deduplication periods, and data integrity hazards are common issues with traditional data deduplication technologies. Due to these challenges, cloud infrastructures struggle to scale and operate, making them unsuitable for huge datasets. Due to this, new deduplication algorithms are urgently needed to increase cloud storage economy and system efficiency.

• •    Develop a data deduplication solution to detect and delete duplicate data in cloud environments to improve storage utilisation and reduce storage footprint.

• •    DD-ECOT that enable quick deduplication while lowering latency and resource utilisation can maintain cloud performance during data processing.

• •    Deduplication must retain data integrity for secure hash-based indexing to prevent security issues.

3.    Proposed Method

Data deduplication is very important for both data management and storage capacity optimisation. Often referred to as single-instance storage, this technique removes unnecessary copies of data by storing only unique blocks and replacing duplicates with pointers. As this paper shows, data deduplication across many environments including clientside and target-side deduplication techniques as well as its integration with cloud data storage have great value. Furthermore, it presents secure data outsourcing techniques and cloud optimisation strategies employing deduplication to ensure data integrity, dependability, and cost economy all of which are rather crucial in modern cloud architectures and data management systems.

Contribution 1: Development of DD-ECOT

Designed to maximise storage space and improve performance in cloud systems, this paper proposes the Data Deduplication-based Efficient Cloud Optimisation Technique (DD-ECOT). Combining strong pattern recognition algorithms with chunking techniques to detect and eliminate duplicate data helps the method to lower system overhead and hence maximise storage utilisation.

Fig. 1. Design of Data deduplication

Data deduplication, often called elegant compression or single-instance storage, helps save storage costs by removing repetitive data duplicates (figure 1). Data deduplication methods ensure that, on capacity media such as disc, flash or tape, only one of a type occurrence of data is stored. Redundancy in data blocks is replaced with a pointer pointing to a one-of-a-kind copy. Data deduplication effortlessly fits perfectly with constant strength, replicating only the data that has changed after previous validation. Equation 1 depicts a mathematical system dynamics model, input variables, and performance measurements. The objective is to measure the impact of parameters like p‘ and w‘ on an observed outcome, M, in data deduplication and cloud computing optimization. This equation is critical because it captures the interaction between storage efficiency (V/‘) and system overhead (nP‘^r), enabling precise optimization techniques. This concept might help large-scale systems enhance scalability and efficiency by balancing resource consumption, performance, and latency in real-world applications like cloud storage.

IM(j — kp' )| = Vf ' <  dp ' - ew' ' >  +nP' ' (1)

The data variability M(j — kp ' ) deduplication delay Vf', and use of resources nP '' impact storage and retrieval performance in terms of the equation 1, dp' — ew", which represents the deduplication process's overall efficiency. Equation 2 presumably explains how operational factors (wq‘‘, R, and j") affect energy or resource efficiency (EM'). This tool quantifies how changes in workload (wq‘‘) or resource usage affect system performance. This equation may assess energy efficiency and resource utilization under different workloads in cloud computing and network optimization to detect bottlenecks. The approach might reduce operational costs, improve energy efficiency, and ensure system scalability in data-intensive contexts like large-scale cloud systems or IoT networks by optimizing these parameters. By optimizing these characteristics, cloud system performance may be boosted and operations expenses can be reduced, as shown.

The efficiency of energy 4(V — 3wq ' ' ) or resources is represented by equation 2, E_M , where the quantities (R — j") stand for the resources used Rwq'' and the effect of deduplication procedures, respectively. In DD-ECOT, equation 2 shows how optimizing these factors may increase performance and minimise overhead in systems storing data in the cloud. Equation (3) is designed to optimize performance metrics by modeling the link between system efficiency, workload dynamics, and external factors. Its stated goal is to find a happy medium between resource use and operational output.

E_t(d — Rw'') = [Vw — rt ' ' ] + Ty(

Equation 3 shows the DD-ECOT method's energy efficiency E_t and resource utilization interact with one another. The data integrity that is preserved during deduplication is represented by d — Rw'' and the resource cost that is incurred is denoted by [Vw — rt'']. To maximize system performance and energy savings in cloud environments, it is essential to optimize the following components: workload Уу, retrieval time (pш, and efficiency factors пр'. Under different operating circumstances, Equation (4) aims to examine the trade-off between system throughput and resource allocation. It makes finding the best possible setups to maximize efficiency and performance easier.

д T' — Fv(M — vr'') = Eq' — Mvd'' (4)

The data flow during deduplication is shown by equation 4 Fv, where (M — vr'') = is the total data volume and д is the variability in the data processing. In the end, cloud storage systems may benefit from improved speed and efficiency due to deduplication, which can decrease processing time (Eq') with little influence on resource utilization (Mvd'').

Divided into blocks, encoded using erasure coding for redundancy, and deduplicated to decrease storage costs, the user input file is Following then is the distribution of the cloud server for the encoded data. Should a server fail or data is lost, a file may be reconstructed using the remaining encoded data. This system provides reliability and availability of data in a distributed cloud environment. Data redundancy, processing time, and storage efficiency are quantified by this equation.

Fig. 5. Cloud data storage architecture for secure deduplication

Figure 5 presents a secure data outsourcing process aimed at a cloud server. After encrypting the file using the convergence key and file key, the data owner transmit the convergent key and file key to the key server. Retaining the convergent key, the key server sends the encrypted file to the cloud server. The cloud server stores the particular file and verifies duplicate files. When the file is needed downloaded, the data owner requests it from the cloud server. The encrypted file is transferred to the key server via the cloud server, which decodes it using the convergent key and thereafter forward the decoded file back to the data owner. All through the outsourcing and retrieval process, this approach ensures integrity and confidentiality of data. Equation 21 models workload efficiency (Tw) based on system factors and operational dynamics.

Both throughput and resource management are improved by effective deduplication methods, as shown by equation 24 on bandwidth utilization analysis.

Figure 7 describes the Efficient Cloud Optimisation Technique (DD-ECOT) based on data deduplication. It shows how to maximise cloud storage by chunking incoming data, utilising secure hash-based indexing for data integrity, and pattern recognition algorithm duplicity detection. Driven by parallel processing, the deduplication engine removes duplicates, producing adequate cloud storage and quicker data retrieval. This strategy guarantees data security, lowers storage costs, and improves cloud performance.

Secure hash-based indexing is one way DD-ECOT tackles data security problems; it guarantees data integrity and reduces the chances of data breaches during deduplication. This strategy ensures that duplicate data is discovered and indexed without revealing sensitive information. The integration of encryption-aware deduplication and powerful access control methods further validates the security procedures of DD-ECOT. These steps guarantee safe and dependable cloud storage operations by adhering to data privacy requirements and reaching quantifiable security goals, including resistance to hash collisions and illegal data access.

For better processing efficiency and resource utilization in cloud computing settings, good deduplication solutions are crucial, as this equation shows in scalability analysis.

The paper analyses the many techniques of data deduplication in detail along with the applications. Important operations such source-side deduplication which reduces bandwidth utilisation by identifying unique data before transmission and target-side deduplication where a backup server performs redundancy elimination show great impact. Furthermore discussed are secure data outsourcing techniques employing erasure coding for redundancy, therefore ensuring data availability in cloud systems. By way of secure indexing and duplicate detection, the Efficient Cloud Optimisation Technique (DD-ECOT) presented in what follows additionally improves storage performance, therefore providing reliable, reasonably priced cloud storage solutions and a fingerprint-based approach for verifying data integrity.

Without adequate encryption or access control systems, sensitive information might be exposed during deduplication processes that compare and analyze data chunks. Attacks like hash collisions or illegal reverse engineering of data fingerprints might compromise hash-based indexing, notwithstanding its efficiency. Data breaches or compromised user confidentiality might result from these concerns, particularly in cloud systems with multi-tenancy and external service providers. The reliability and acceptability of the suggested solution might be enhanced by addressing these ethical problems with strong privacy-preserving approaches, secure hashing algorithms, and compliance with data protection rules.

4.    Results and Discussion

Cloud data deduplication solutions are evaluated based on storage economy, latency, data integrity, bandwidth usage, and scalability. DD-ECOT uses secure hash-based indexing, advanced pattern recognition algorithms, and parallel processing. Hardware geared for distributed cloud infrastructure includes multi-core CPUs and rapid storage. GPUs do pattern recognition. Python and C++ are used to construct algorithms because they can analyze enormous volumes of data and work with machine learning frameworks like TensorFlow or PyTorch for real-time pattern recognition.

The solution uses efficient storage layers like Google Cloud Storage to manage deduplication data, ensuring cloud system compatibility. DD-ECOT performance benchmarks can be repeated using these settings.

Software and service companies are very important in modern digital terrain in helping different industries to negotiate challenging tasks. Especially with the development of Internet of Things (IoT) devices and dependence on cloud computing, data compliance and privacy problems top priority. Safeguarding data security against cyber-attacks and breaches becomes very essential as companies welcome mobility and use big data and machine learning (ML). While attention to data quality and management of entity information and information sources drives informed decisions aligned with consumer demand and market dynamics, so shaping pricing, specifications, and omnichannel data strategies; the IT industry and hardware business are indispensable in providing strong infrastructure.

A data deduplication tools market research report from 2032 will probably go over how these tools deal with different kinds of data, such as structured data (like client records or financial transactions), unstructured data (like emails, photos, or videos), and semi-structured data (like JSON or XML files). This study will evaluate the complexity and efficacy of deduplication algorithms by taking into account variables such as data volume (in terabytes or petabytes), velocity (in gigabytes per day), and diversity (in the number of data types included in a dataset).

Fig. 8. Storage Utilization Efficiency Analysis

In figure 8 and Table, storage utilisation efficiency is crucial when assessing a cloud data deduplication solution's performance and cost. Deduplication solutions eliminate redundant data, lower data transmission and storage costs, and optimise storage resources. Content-aware algorithms and chunk-based deduplication can optimise storage capacity. These approaches can detect duplicate data in several data formats. Unique data must be stored to do this. Machine learning and other advanced methods can dynamically respond to changing data patterns, increasing deduplication rates and storage efficiency. High storage utilisation efficiency is essential, are data discrepancies, security problems, and processing delays. System performance and aggressive deduplication compatibility are crucial. The introduction of latency, which will harm the amount of time it takes to retrieve data, is possible if this does not occur. A complete evaluation of storage utilisation's efficacy must incorporate the advantages of reduced storage demands and system performance losses, producing 92.8%. The former has more benefits than the latter. New deduplication algorithms that favour storage efficiency while maintaining system integrity and performance are needed to optimise cloud resource utilisation. Costs will drop and efficiency will improve. Because these algorithms prioritise storage efficiency over system speed and integrity.

• Fig. 9.    Data Deduplication Latency Analysis

When assessing cloud data deduplication solutions, latency research is crucial since it impacts user experience and system performance. In the above figure 7 and table 2, duration of deduplication is called latency. The cloud architecture, data volume, and deduplication algorithm complexity may cause this delay. Traditional deduplication methods have high latency due to intensive hashing and comparison. When working with big datasets or data streams that are happening at rapid speeds, this becomes much more obvious. The benefits of storage savings may be countered by slower data retrieval and a worse user experience. Modern techniques like in-memory deduplication and parallel processing reduce latency. These methods speed up duplicate data detection and removal without affecting system performance. Machine learning algorithms may additionally speed up deduplication and processing by anticipating and responding to data trends produces 97.2%. Latency studies can improve deduplication systems and uncover bottlenecks, helping companies balance storage efficiency and data access speed. Cloud services reduce latency, improving data access speeds and dependability and operational efficiency.

The DD-ECOT system reduced latency by 97.2% due to its advanced parallel processing and deduplication capabilities. These improvements allow the system to discover and eliminate duplicates faster without straining its resources. Intelligent pattern recognition and safe hash-based indexing speed up comparisons, while parallel processing handles massive datasets. However, indexing and hashing may become inefficient when the system faces highly diversified or often changing data. Latency advantages may be reduced if the cloud infrastructure cannot handle parallelism or unexpected network restrictions, emphasizing the need for robust resource allocation and flexibility.

• Fig. 10.    Data Integrity Analysis

In the above figure 8 and table 3, evaluation of cloud data deduplication systems should include data integrity analysis. It is essential that the data be accurate and consistent during the entire process of deduplication, and the study conducted guarantees that this will be the case. When enormous amounts of data are stored and accessible in cloud computing, data integrity breaches can cause operational disruptions, financial losses, and legal issues. Normal deduplication may accidentally harm data. Particularly if duplication detection methods cannot handle different data types or architectures. Data integrity is improved by modern deduplication methods using secure hash-based indexing. They create unique fingerprints for each data component, enabling reliable verification and retrieval. Prior to and after deduplication, checksums and integrity tests reveal data errors. Avoids data manipulation. Ongoing validation and integrity audits increase deduplication system trust. Prioritising data integrity can help organisations safeguard their cloud infrastructure and reduce duplicate data hazards produces 98.1%. Building trust in cloud services, fostering user confidence, and complying with regulatory obligations in a data-driven landscape requires a comprehensive data integrity investigation.

Fig. 11. Bandwidth Utilization Analysis

Bandwidth use analysis is essential when evaluating cloud data deduplication systems since it influences data transfer rates and system performance. In the above figure 9 and table 4, cloud systems' high bandwidth consumption, where data is frequently uploaded, downloaded, and replicated, might increase operational expenses and user access times. This is possible with data replication. Deduplication technologies reduce bandwidth by finding and removing duplicate data before transmission. With big datasets, duplicate data can increase bandwidth consumption and cause delays and congestion, making this crucial. Smart deduplication methods like client-side deduplication can process data before uploading to the cloud. This greatly reduces the quantity of data delivered. Communication and bandwidth efficiency are optimised by content-aware and chunk-based deduplication algorithms that target duplicate data chunks. This is done by focused on copies. Smart caching systems preserve frequently accessed data locally, reducing data transfers and bandwidth usage produces 95.7%. A thorough bandwidth consumption analysis can help businesses improve user experience, save money, and boost data transfer efficiency. This will ensure data-intensive environments use cloud resources efficiently and sustainably.

Fig. 12. Scalability Analysis

With sophisticated pattern recognition algorithms and chunking techniques, the suggested approach, DD-ECOT, can efficiently manage massive datasets in real-world cloud settings, detecting and removing duplicate data with little delay and resource use. It promises outstanding performance even under heavy workloads by using parallel processing to speed up the deduplication process. Safe hash-based indexing further ensures data integrity, and the system's extensible design makes it easy to adjust to increasing data loads. With these capabilities, storage usage is optimized, operating expenses are reduced, and system efficiency is maintained, making it ideal for handling the demands of massive datasets in ever-changing cloud settings.

Effective deduplication algorithms increase storage efficiency by 92.8% and reduce latency by 97.2%, improving user experience. Additionally, sophisticated procedures assure data integrity during deduplication to 98.1%, reducing risks. Scalable deduplication solutions can handle expanding data volumes, however optimal bandwidth utilisation accounts for 95.7% of data transfer speeds. All of these criteria show that advanced deduplication solutions are essential for cloud performance optimisation and data-driven organisations. This research compares DD-ECOT against SDS, DBCS, A-BE, and CSM. Due to its extensive delays, SDS struggles with deduplication but is brilliant at encrypting data. Dynamic data reconfiguration and inline deduplication make DBCS efficient, but it struggles to scale with large datasets. A-BE integrates deduplication with encryption techniques like Bloom filters to increase security despite its memory and performance overheads. CSM balances processing efficiency with server-side and client-side deduplication but doesn't continuously adapt to workloads. DD-ECOT overcomes all of these approaches' flaws. It effectively deduplicates data using secure hash-based indexing and powerful pattern recognition, reduces latency with parallel processing, and scales in different and dynamic cloud settings.

Incorporating DD-ECOT performance metrics with well-established benchmarks like SPEC Cloud or TPC Benchmarks might significantly enhance storage efficiency and latency. These generally acknowledged models are the bee's knees for evaluating cloud, data management, and system performance. These standards would not only let readers compare the proposed method to industry standards, but they would also provide credence to the claims made in the research. To strengthen the method's credibility and highlight its practical benefit, it would be helpful to compare DD-ECOT's performance on throughput, latency, and storage use to SPEC Cloud 2016 or TPC-DS (Decision Support) benchmarks.

One potential use case for DD-ECOT is in a large-scale e-commerce platform's disaster recovery arrangement. These systems produce massive volumes of user and transaction data, which is frequently duplicated over many backups to provide high availability. According to the simulation results, the storage needs might be cut in half by including DD-ECOT into the backup and recovery procedure, which would allow the system to deduplicate redundant data in real-time. In a simulated disaster recovery scenario, the platform was able to reduce data retrieval latency by 97.2%, which allowed essential services to be restored sooner. Data integrity was guaranteed by the secure hash-based indexing, which prevented corruption during recovery. Data transferred without a hitch across geographically dispersed cloud servers thanks to a 95.7% optimization in bandwidth utilization. In practical settings, this shown that DD-ECOT may greatly improve disaster recovery operations in terms of efficiency, speed, and dependability.
