Analysis of Multi Cloud Storage applications for resource constrained mobile devices

Publication date: Available online 2 May 2016 Source:Perspectives in Science Author(s): Rajeev Kumar Bedi, Jaswinder Singh, Sunil Kumar Gupta Cloud Storage, which can be a surrogate for all physical hardware storage devices, is a term which gives a reflection of an enormous advancement in engineering. [1] However, there are many issues that need to be handled when accessing cloud storage on resource constrained mobile devices due to inherent limitations of mobile devices as limited storage capacity, processing power and battery backup. [2] There are many multi cloud storage applications available, which handle issues faced by single cloud storage applications. In this paper, we are providing analysis of different multi cloud storage applications developed for resource constrained mobile devices to check their performance on the basis of parameters as battery consumption, CPU usage, Data usage and time consumed by using mobile phone device Sony Xperia ZL (smart phone) on WiFi network. Lastly, conclusion and open research challenges in these multi cloud storage apps are discussed.
