Cloud Data Storage: Annotated Bibliography In this research document, the authors provide us with a study of data storage in the cloud. It focuses on the management, operation and security of data stored for long periods of time in the cloud. This item is useful for the fact that it can present several demographics to business regarding cloud computing security, data storage functionality and also cites several business surveys that can assist in organizations to make the decision to migrate to cloud computing services and data storage.

For your cloud computing assignment

I liked this article very much and understand his concerns. It is very hard to trust something that you can't examine. How do cloud computing agencies validate their systems, with there be a GOP security report that tells us what agencies are legitimate. I have to read that top 10 cloud reporting article to see exactly how that was determined.

I wonder if they had cake... DoD/DISA's email system signed-up its 1 millionth user last week. Now that's a lot of Exchange mailboxes. This article has it listed as a cloud service... is it? It's true that DISA doesn't keep it's cloud presence a secret, a quick google search will tell you the URL is https://web.disa.mil - but since you can't get very far without a CAC.. is this truly cloud? What is the definition of cloud?

Cloud Data Storage: Annotated Bibliography The authors in the document provide technical details on securing data on the cloud. It shows guides system administrators on the use of Access Control Lists (ACLs), program scripting, and how to implement several methodologies and techniques to maintain a high level of security of data in the cloud. This is a very technical report but is helpful to show insight on how system administrators maintain a secure backbone in the cloud.

Cloud Data Storage: Annotated Bibliography In this document the authors shows us the migration that business are taking from handling data from their grid to using cloud data storage services. This document focuses on how to use database libraries with data stored in the cloud. It provides guidance in using tools like SQL, Hadoop and HBase mapping. This item can be useful for business to access their databases from information stored in the cloud and can be very helpful.

Cloud Data Storage: Annotated Bibliography The author of this article discusses the evolution of data storage from floppy disks to the new cloud data storage. This is a quite informative item which shows us the first data storage hardware and backup stores, and how it evolved through time and also its contribution on the world of networking. It also describes cloud data storage, how it works and the future of cloud computing in networking.

Most organizations already have started to use virtualization technology or cloud computing. Yet some still may be reluctant to move their mission-critical-tier-1 - applications to these relatively new environments. While the flexibility and cost benefits of virtualization are widely accepted, questions linger on how to adapt to new and different risks.

This ranking of cloud start ups could be helpful to you for your research project.

Very interesting report. People voted, not technicians, nor security agencies, just people who use the system. It seems a lot like how the personal computer came and the internet was created. Just get it up and running and security will come later. How can that be? A countries banking system just got compromised. No inspection standard to say this cloud solution is safe, just a group of people who say they can access that information when they want and the company saying it is perfectly safe. Little do they know it could also be accessed by others just as quickly - just my opinion, not quite facts yet.

This article describes a new concept in development for cloud computing which involves combining cloud services into a collection of clouds to form what it defines as a multicloud environment called cloud mashups.

Georgia Tech's security summit report

Great article. Thing like this are very interesting to me. The section on Cloud Computing was by far my favorite. This type of technology is emerging and at the same time it has turned into a challenge for attackers to try to break. Security is going to be very vital for this service to work and more likely will be the subject of any topic related to cloud technology. Cloud service providers need to make a stronger statement and provide some type of assurance to the customer. Thanks!

I had actually read this article before, but it was good to read it again. While they are many elements that are concerning I find the "filter bubbles" troubling. A user has the right to know that their search results have been filtered. You think you're conducting an open search, only to read this and find out your results may be limited.

Cloud Data Storage: Annotated Bibliography As the authors note, this paper analyses and discusses various methods like adopting cryptographic methods, writing access rights and policies, segregating or fragmenting and then reconstructing the data, etc. All these approaches would preserve the privacy of user and data and while performing public auditing on the cloud. This survey is quite useful because it shows information in several security methodologies involving cloud computing and data storage. It provides with several approaches to the auditing of these systems and ensuring that data stored is secured.

This is great explanation of security threats associated with cloud computing on the 3 available options in cloud computing: Infrastructure, Platform & Application.

Concern about security and privacy in the cloud will drive adoption of cloud encryption systems, but Gartner warns there are six security issues that businesses should tackle. The expected compound annual growth rate of software as a service (SaaS) from 2011 to 2016 is 19.5%, platform as a service (PaaS) 27.7%, infrastructure as a service (IaaS) 41.3% and security services spending 22%.

Interesting slideshow with some short discussions which relate to this weeks project, as well as the final class project.

This was a simple video that broke down cloud computing to its simplest form. I liked how it explained the billing and information use of the concept.

How can you tell who is servicing your systems if they are in the clouds? Should the ATM network be placed in the clouds? Something to ponder about
