The epitome suite consists of several discrete pieces that provide storage deduplication services. Deduplication is defined as the elimination of redundant data. The idea behind epitome is to provide a WORM-based archive/backup mechanism that is lossless and offers permanent storage with inherent data protection properties. Additionally, it provides several metadata formats and back-ends to meet several usage models. It provides a number of services to enable three major archiving technologies: CAS, SIS, and DEDUP.

iogen is an I/O generator. It forks child processes that each run a mix of reads and writes. The idea is to generate heavily fragmented files to make the hardware suffer as much as possible. This tool has been used to test filesystems, drivers, firmware, and hardware devices. It is by no means meant as a performance measuring tool since it tries to recreate the worst case scenario I/O.
