MyCloud: A High-Performance, Secure Distributed Storage System Combining Several Vendors' Cloud Storage Services

Abstract

This paper is to propose “MyCloud”, a high-performance and secure distributed storage system. In recent years, Cloud Computing plays an ever-increasing role around the world. Although the service is useful, there are three problems; latency, non-availability and privacy due to vendor lock-in. MyCloud constructs a high-performance, secure distributed storage system by using some vendors' Cloud Computing in parallel. MyCloud has three contributions. First, MyCloud can construct the highly available storage. For example, non-working time is thirty-one milliseconds using three public clouds. Second, MyCloud strongly preserves privacy to encrypt and to distribute user data to several vendors' cloud. Third, MyCloud translates thirteen times faster than normal cloud storage services. This paper argues how to develop MyCloud and experimental results for estimating the availability and the download-speed of MyCloud. MyCloud would make the secure, available and useful Cloud Computing future.
