Cloud storage federation as a service reference architecture

Abstract:

Cloud storage is one of the leading technologies to address todays data storage demand. However, facing Big Data storage challenge relying on a single cloud storage provider is almost impossible. Cloud storage federation model provides the integration of multiples cloud storage providers into a single virtual storage pool, eliminating the dependency on a single provider and decreasing vendor lock-in problem. Moreover, federating multiple cloud storage providers improve data availability, storage scalability and data processing performance. In this paper, we propose a reference architecture for Cloud Storage Federation Service implementation. Moreover, a demo cloud storage federation service implementation is presented.
