A Novel Approach for Data Management over Cloud

The domain of cloud computing has transformed from a niche domain to a ubiquitous one. Cloud computing basically means access to shared computing resources such as network, storage and, IT. over the internet on a pay-as-you-use basis. There are three major aspects related to cloud, namely. storage, load balancing, and security. With the ever-increasing quantity of data and organizations surpassing geographical boundaries, the acceptance of cloud has increased. We wish to contribute to this field whose relevance is growing by the day. Hence we have aimed to develop an efficient model for storing and retrieving files over cloud using a data-centric approach. As of now, most existing techniques distribute content over servers based on server parameters such as availability of the server and current load on server. However, statistics regarding the type of content over the internet and their percentages suggest that this information can be utilized to create a more efficient model of storage. In this paper, we have proposed an algorithm for management of files over cloud on basis of the extension or the type of file, wherein each server will be dedicated to a particular data content. These management of files promise a better access speed (upload and download) from the local machine to the cloud and vice versa.
