Eliminating Single Point of Failure and Data Loss in Cloud Computing

Ranjithprabhu.K | Sasirega.D

Abstract: Cloud computing is not without its risks. The fact is that these risks are definitely manageable with some effort taken. Once the issues are resolved, then the remaining process should go on smoothly, thereby providing various benefits for both the cloud provider and the cloud consumer. It is a new era of computing that offers huge benefits including such as reduced time consumption, surplus computing power and scalable computing capabilities. A single point of failure (SPOF) is one of the design issues in cloud computing that is more vulnerable and such failures mitigate the entire system unavailable. This paper elaborates the redundancy techniques to overcome Single point of Failure and data replication with data mapping to prevent data loss in cloud computing.
