Migrating Data Between Physical Server and Cloud: Improving Accuracy and Data Integrity

摘要

The Cloud (Cloud Computing) has been the center of attraction for both businesses and organizations. As the organizations make the ultimate decision of embracing the technology and moving their services and data to the Cloud, a greater danger of losing the data in the process of migrating from the traditionally physical computing to Cloud computing is something that cannot be overlooked. In this paper, we propose a system that detects and eliminates data loss, incomplete transfer or modification of data during the migration process from the traditionally physical computing to cloud computing. This system will ensure that the migrated data in the cloud server is an exact replica of the data in the physical server from which the data is being migrated from. This will be achieved by a combination of algorithms that will segment, encrypt and compare the migrated data with the original data beside 3-way handshake signaling protocol that has never been effectively implemented in the cloud computing migration environment.
