Cloud servers is a model for enabling convenient, on-demand network access to a shared pool of configurable server resources (networks, memory, storage, cpu, applications, and services) that can be rapidly provisioned and released with minimal management effort or cloud service provider interaction. The Cloud servers models offers the promise of massive cost savings combined with increased IT agility due to pay per consume. However, this technology challenges many traditional approaches to hosting provider and enterprise application design and management. Cloud servers are currently being used; however, data security cited as major barriers to adoption in cloud storage. Users can store data and used on demand or for the applications without keeping any local copy of the data. Users can able to upload data on cloud storage without worrying about to check or verify integrity. Hence integrity auditing for cloud data is more important task to ensure users data integrity. To do this user can resort the TPA (Third Party Auditor) to check the data on the cloud storage. TPA is the expertise and having knowledge and capabilities which users can unable to check. TPA audit the integrity of all files stored on the cloud storage on behalf of users and inform the results. Users should consider auditing process will not cause new vulnerability against the users data also ensures integrity auditing will not cause any resources problem.
