CAS
(Content Addressable Storage)
Content Addressable Storage (CAS) is a storage technology that uses unique identifiers, typically cryptographic hashes, to retrieve data based on its content rather than its location. CAS is commonly used in backup, archiving, and data deduplication systems.
CAS ensures data integrity by generating a unique hash for each piece of data, making it easy to detect and prevent duplicates. This approach improves storage efficiency and reduces costs. CAS is particularly useful in environments where data integrity and long-term retention are critical, such as healthcare and financial services.
