Abstract

Data availability represents one of the primary functionalities of any cloud storage system since it ensures uninterrupted access to data. A common solution used by service providers that increase data availability and improve cloud performance is data replication. In this paper, we present a dynamic data replication strategy that is based on a hybrid peer-to-peer cloud architecture. Our proposed strategy selects the most popular data for replication. To determine the proper nodes for storing popular data, we employ not only the feature specifications of storage nodes, but also the relevant structural positions in the cloud network. Our simulation results show the impact of using features such as data popularity, and structural characteristics in improving network performance and balancing the storage nodes, and reducing user response time.
