Analysis of Cloud Storage Issues in Distributed Cloud Data Centres by Parameter Improved Particle Swarm Optimization (PIPSO) Algorithm

Cloud Computing environment provides several on demand services for users. The recent problem and important issues in cloud computing is to optimize cloud storage over distributed data centers. The cloud storage optimization problem is considered as one of most challenging task. To overcome storage issues, the Parameter Improved Particle Swarm Optimization (PIPSO) technique is proposed. This paper presents the objective and the requirements of the distributed cloud storage issue based on the current topology. PIPSO technique manages each other between two server centers. The simulation has been done in MATLAB programming software. The results show that proposed technique achieves better results when compared with the other existing methods

Data Replication and Its Alignment with Fault Management in the Cloud Environment

Nowadays, the exponential data growth becomes one of the major challenges all over the world. It may cause a series of negative impacts such as network overloading, high system complexity, and inadequate data security, etc. Cloud computing is developed to construct a novel paradigm to alleviate massive data processing challenges with its on-demand services and distributed architecture. Data replication has been proposed to strategically distribute the data access load to multiple cloud data centres by creating multiple data copies at multiple cloud data centres. A replica-applied cloud environment not only achieves a decrease in response time, an increase in data availability, and more balanced resource load but also protects the cloud environment against the upcoming faults. The reactive fault tolerance strategy is also required to handle the faults when the faults already occurred. As a result, the data replication strategies should be aligned with the reactive fault tolerance strategies to achieve a complete management chain in the cloud environment. In this thesis, a data replication and fault management framework is proposed to establish a decentralised overarching management to the cloud environment. Three data replication strategies are firstly proposed based on this framework. A replica creation strategy is proposed to reduce the total cost by jointly considering the data dependency and the access frequency in the replica creation decision making process. Besides, a cloud map oriented and cost efficiency driven replica creation strategy is proposed to achieve the optimal cost reduction per replica in the cloud environment. The local data relationship and the remote data relationship are further analysed by creating two novel data dependency types, Within-DataCentre Data Dependency and Between-DataCentre Data Dependency, according to the data location. Furthermore, a network performance based replica selection strategy is proposed to avoid potential network overloading problems and to increase the number of concurrent-running instances at the same time
