Data Security With Replication for Cloud Computing

Abstract

Cloud computing is an advanced technology that provides access to different services via the internet. These services include applications such as servers, networking, data storage, databases, and software. For this reason, this technology is very popular for institutions and individuals for many reasons such as cost, production, efficiency and speed.In this study, data replication is discussed in order to solve security breaches in cloud computing technologies. Data replication is the process of making one or more backup copies of a database or other data store, in whole or in part. The primary benefit of data replication is to ensure the availability of data recovery and functional critical applications in disaster situations. In such a case, if the primary data source is damaged, a copy of that data source can be created. In addition, transactional consistency is ensured so that data is up-to-date and consistent. Data replication tools can lighten the IT burden of creating and managing enterprise-wide data replication operations. Thus, data loss in cloud computing is reduced.
