Cost optimization for data storage using cloud technologies

Abstract

The scientific substantiation of the importance and effectiveness of the use of cloud technologies in the development of consumer cooperation is considered. Linear programming methods are used to select the optimal data storage scheme for several cloud service providers. These methods are used for various technical and economic parameters of the package of services provided (maximum storage capacity, cost of allocated resources). Microsoft Excel in combination with the add-on “Solution Search” is selected as a software tool for performing numerical calculations. The presented model can also be used for any cost conditions, as well as for different areas of application of cloud services.
