Intelligent storage management using cloud shared disk architecture

Abstract

In recent years, there is tremendous demand of cutting-edge cloud-based applications in many of the industries. We have proposed in the paper a shared disk cloud database architecture as the basis on which an intelligent data storage management system can be developed for enriching cloud-based web applications. Important features of this proposed architecture are single copied data consistency, dynamic load balancing and high benchmark performance. Based on the software layer, an intelligent data management system for popularizing the concept of SaaS has been pointed out suggesting a cost-effective solution for popularizing the cloud environment.
