Claim 0:
1. A system for performing data management and de-duplication, comprising:
a management server, comprising:
a non-transitory memory configured to store:
instructions; and
a storage index indicating metadata describing a plurality of tables stored at a storage server;

a processor configured to execute the instructions, which cause the processor to be configured to:
detect, by a listener application of the management server, that a request to add a new column of data to a storage server has been received;
determine, by a scanner application of the management server, that the new column of data is a duplicate of a column of data already stored at the storage server by comparing metadata describing the new column and the metadata describing the tables stored at the storage server, wherein the metadata describing the new column indicates a sender of the request to add the new column and a column name of the new column and the metadata describing the tables stored at the storage server describes a column name and a data format of each column in each table stored at the storage server; and
in response to the new column of data being the duplicate of the column of data already stored in the storage server:
generate, by an interceptor application of the management server, an indication that the new column of data is already stored at the storage server; and
transmit, to a user equipment (UE) using a server-to-UE application programming interface, the indication that the new column of data is already stored at the storage server, prompting a user of the UE to perform an action to prevent the new column of data to be stored at the storage server;

wherein the storage server is communicatively coupled to the management server, and wherein the storage server is configured to store the tables.
