Cloud storage architecture

Designing storage architectures for emerging data-intensive applications presents several challenges and opportunities. Tackling these problems requires a combination of architectural optimizations to the storage devices and layers of the memory/storage hierarchy as well as hardware/software techniques to manage the flow of data between the cores and storage. As we move deeper into an era in which data is a first-class citizen in architecture design, optimizing the storage architecture will become more important. Cloud Storage Architecture is major topic in now a day because the data usage and the storage capacity are increased double year by year. So that some of the major companies are mainly concentrated on demand storage option like cloud storage. The existing cloud storage providers are mainly concentrated on performance, cost issues and multiple storage options.
