Abstract

The benefits of cloud storage come along with challenges and open issues about availability of services, vendor lock-in and data security, etc. One solution to mitigate the problems is the multi-cloud storage, where the selection of service providers is a key point. In this paper, an algorithm that can select optimal provider subset for data placement among a set of providers in multi-cloud storage architecture based on IDA is proposed, designed to achieve good tradeoff among storage cost, algorithm cost, vendor lock-in, transmission performance and data availability. Experiments demonstrate that it is efficient and accurate to find optimal solutions in reasonable amount of time, using parameters taken from real cloud providers.
