A Brief Analysis on Architecture and Reliability of Cloud Based Data Storage

Cloud based data storage is one of the most recent approach of storing the data after a forty year domination by relational databases. A common architectural design of a cloud based distributive storage system is proposed in this paper. It also discusses about the general approach in considering a cloud service, a detailed description about various components and a few important technologies available and few problems with respect to the reliability are mentioned. It provides the services to the clients via the Internet; moreover, the advantage is that the clients need not know the minute and inner details or various mechanisms running within the upper layers. The proposed architecture is a structured and layered one which is cooperative as well
