Abstract: The shared cloud is evolving into an integral part of IT infrastructure. The computing system is transforming from hardware-centric to service-centric solutions, where both data storage and computing are provided as services, which alleviates the need for end-users to purchase expensive hardware equipment. Currently, the majority of user data is stored with just a few centralized cloud data providers, which makes it vulnerable to unauthorized data access, censorship, and security breaches, as well as points of failure.  While data encryption may be effective in addressing some security issues, it is unable to subdue the latter issue. As such, an innovative solution is required to ensure secure data storage. This talk will present our research on the design of distributed storage systems. Specifically, we propose a multi-layer parallel data processing infrastructure that can double node repair capability in hostile networks. Alternatively, it can increase the feasible data storage region by 50% in hostile networks.

Service-Centric Data Storage, Security and Robustness

Abstract:
The shared cloud is evolving into an integral part of IT infrastructure. The computing system is transforming from hardware-centric to service-centric solutions, where both data storage and computing are provided as services, which alleviates the need for end-users to purchase expensive hardware equipment.
