Data Consistency in the Cloud
Manghirmalani, Pooja, Sushil S Kulkarni · ASME Press eBooks · 2012
Objective of this paper is to discuss cloud computing with respect to data consistency. The paper elaborates through a survey on the cloud architecture and the services provided. Further, this paper gives a comparison of existing cloud servers on the basis of their consistency models and thus proposes an efficient client-centric consistency model called writes-follow-reads consistency. A strong consistency protocol called primary-backup protocol is proposed to support proposed consistency model to enhance the current architecture of existing cloud computing.
