Recent Technologies that reach end users are those which provide services for all their needs. Cloud computing is a technology where service is provided for all end user’s needs and requests. As we move deeper into an era in which data usage and the storage capacity are increased double year by year, some of the major companies are mainly concentrated on demand storage option like cloud storage...

Enterprises are driving towards less cost, more availability, agility, managed risk all of which is accelerated towards Cloud Computing. Cloud is not a particular product, but a way of delivering IT services that are consumable on demand, elastic to scale up and down as needed, and follow a pay-for-usage model. Out of the three common types of cloud computing service models, Infrastructure as a...

One of the primary usage of cloud computing is data storage. Cloud provides huge capacity of storage for cloud user’. To store and retrieve their data at anytime or anywhere it should be reliable and flexible. Currently many enterprises have started using cloud storage due to its advantages. But the problem lie in data security, data privacy and other data protection issues. It is a major setba...

The demand for cloud computing is increasing because of the popularity of digital devices and the wide use of the Internet. Among cloud computing services, most consumers use cloud storage services that provide mass storage. This is because these services give them various additional functions as well as storage. It is easy to access cloud storage services using smartphones. With increasing uti...

When web archive data are not being actively used, it is usually beneficial to ingest them into a digital library for curation. However, it becomes a challenge when the volume of the data grows beyond the size of a typical repository. We propose to augment the digital library with external mass storage. More specifically, we developed a Java library to bridge the Fedora Commons repository with ...

Volume 4, Issue 4, July – August 2015 Page 168 Abstract In this emerging computing platform, the cloud provider, application developers, and end users can all reap benefits. One of the most attractive cloud services nowadays is data storage, many well-known cloud service providers (CSPs) have started providing lucrative data storage services during the past few years, including Microsoft SkyDri...

Storage systems are essential building blocks for cloud computing infrastructures. Although high performance storage servers are the ultimate solution for cloud storage, the implementation of inexpensive storage system remains an open issue. To address this problem, the efficient cloud storage system is implemented with inexpensive and commodity computer nodes that are organized into PC cluster...

Personal data are important assets that people nowadays entrust with cloud storage services for the convenience of easy, ubiquitous access. To attract/retain customers, cloud storage companies aggressively replicate and georeplicate data. Such replication may be over-cautious for the majority of data objects and contributes to the relatively high price of cloud storage. Yet cloud storage compan...

The broadly accepted and undisputed economic benefits notwithstanding, cloud computing, and particularly cloud storage, raises many security-related and legal qualms: Every enterprise considering to utilize cloud storage has to deal with compliance and security restrictions. In order to address these, cloud providers offer more and more security mechanisms for their services. At closer inspecti...

Design and architecture of cloud storage system plays a vital role in cloud computing infrastructure in order to improve the storage capacity as well as cost effectiveness. Usually cloud storage system provides users to efficient storage space with elasticity feature. One of the challenges of cloud storage system is difficult to balance the providing huge elastic capacity of storage and investm...
