Elastic cloud storage services have revitalised network storage techniques. The convenience of using them is attractive to many users. What holds back adoption are concerns about security, privacy, reliability and other quality factors. These risks have been converted into challenges by researchers who investigate flexible user-controlled storage systems such as file storage integrators and databases...
Highly scalable computing environments demand a parallelisation and distribution of processing tasks. Consequently, the data being processed is redundantly distributed to benefit from data locality characteristics, but also to increase safety, privacy and security objectives. Such distributed processing is coordinated by message passing or map-reduce programming styles. For partially replicated and...
The growing number of locally and globally connected devices and infrastructure services is symptomatic for increasing user requirements on convenient, comfortable, fast and cheap remote computing and access to data. Distributed computing techniques in combination with on-demand Clouds help matching the requirements and the offered resources. This paper evaluates existing distributed computing models...
Effortless data storage “in the cloud” is gaining popularity for personal, enterprise and institutional data backups and synchronisation as well as for highly scalable access from software applications running on attached compute servers. The data is usually access-protected, encrypted and replicated depending on the security and scalability needs. Despite the advances in technology, the practical...
