Cloud Security - Hybrid Storage Model

Abstract

Cloud storage / Virtual Cloud providers in today’s world have multiple users and multiple servers sharing multiple data spread across the world. Massive servers where data is stored are often referred to as “server farms “which run 24*7*365. Cloud companies tend to outsource their “server farms” to different satellite locations for reducing the cost incurred, and also replicate and store data at various servers. Cloud computing is an IT paradigm that enables access to shared pools of configurable system resources and higher-level services over Internet. This paper provides an insight on whether the data generated locally must be stored within the country or exported cross-border. This abstract is to find the issues in existing solution and to find out whether to Nationalized or Globalize cloud storage.
