Abstract

Abstract

En 中文
Cloud storage synchronization among different computing terminals has attracted large-scale uses among enterprise and individual users. It enables users to maintain the same copy of data in real time, which eases users the tedious yet error-prone data management burden. However, existing cloud storage synchronization systems are in a closed form. Users are fixed to a certain cloud service provider, which makes it hard to transfer from one provider to another when balancing factors such as performance, cost, security, etc. To bridge this gap, this article proposes a new synchronization system based on standard cloud object storage. Specifically, we first formulate the cloud object storage synchronization problem by defining some useful concepts. We then use the idea of state encoding and a push-pull paradigm to propose a cloud object storage synchronization system. The proposed system supports real-time, multiple-terminal, and cloud-independent storage synchronization. We also prototyped the proposed system. The experimental results show that the proposed system is promising for practical usages.
