Hello everyone,

I'm a student of the European Master in Distributed Computing (EMDC)
currently working on my master thesis on distributed content-addressable
storage/deduplication.

I'm happy to announce I will be contributing the outcome of my thesis work
to OpenStack by enabling both object-level and block-level deduplication
functionality on Swift (https://answers.launchpad.net/swift/+question/156862
).

I have written a detailed blog post where I describe the initial
architecture of my solution:

Feedback from the OpenStack/Swift community would be very appreciated.

Cheers,

Paulo
