Abstract

Automatic redirection in scale-out cluster environments that perform distributed deduplication is described. A system converts a request from a client into a remote procedure call for a scale-out cluster. If the remote procedure call is a type that uses client-side redirection, the system identifies the node in the scale-out-cluster that is the correct node for the remote procedure call. If the client is not connected by any physical connection to the correct node, the system physically connects the client to the correct node by creating a physical connection within the virtual connection from the client to the scale-out cluster. If the remote procedure call is a write request, the system deduplicates the write request's data, uses the physical connection from the client to the correct node to send the write request and the deduplicated data to the correct node, and enables the correct node to store the deduplicated data.
