An Efficient Block Storage Mechanism For Cloud Computing Adoption Framework

Abstract

Providing Data Security for huge amount of data in business cloud is   important and difficult. Cloud Computing Adoption Framework (CCAF) is one of the frameworks which is used to provide the Security for business cloud. CCAF makes use of Business process Modelling Notation (BPMN) for Security measure. By using this BPMN, CCAF classifies into multi-layered Security. They are: - 1) Firewall 2) Identity Management and intrusion Prevention 3) Convergent Encryption. However, CCAF framework stores same data copy of multiple users is stored in multiple locations, instead of storing same copy information in one location. Due to this problem, cloud storage utilization is not effective. To overcome this problem, in our proposed effective storage approach, we have considered hash tables and id’s of cloud user’s at the cloud storage provider.  Each client maintains its hash tables for storing and retrieving the data from storage cloud. Eventually, our proposed approach can identify the same data of multiple users or same user and it stores in one location, instead of storing multiple locations. Our results prove that block storage can effectively utilized in CCAF framework.
