Improving cloud data storage performance based on calculating score using data transfer rate between the internetwork drives

Abstract

Cloud storage performance is heavily dependent on the performance of the “storage architecture it is using, it is observed when the connected network bandwidth is greater than the sustainable transfer rates of the storage drives.To maintain the privacy of the data Personal Cloud Device (PCD) can be used, many corporations like WD, Seagate, Apple, Q-NAP, etc., are providing PCD’s with different storage capacities. A PCD stores the data in the storage drive installed in it, which can be HDD, SSD, SSHD or NAS. PCD achieves more privacy than that of personal cloud offered by service providers because PCD connected to the network doesn’t necessarily need to be connected to the internet since PCD can be accessed within its connected network without being online.Cloud storage performance is heavily dependent on the performance of the storage architecture it is using, it is observed when the connected network bandwidth is greater than the sustainable transfer rates of the storage drives. In this paper, we will discuss different types of storage drives, their performance and how drives can bottleneck the cloud storage performance.
