Comparative Analysis of Different Data Replication Strategies in Cloud Environment

Abstract

In this paper, we performed a comparative study of the different data replication strategies such as Adaptive Data Replication Strategy (ADRS), Dynamic Cost Aware Re-Replication and Rebalancing Strategy (DCR2S) and Efficient Placement Algorithm (EPA) in the cloud environment. The implementation of these three techniques is done in JAVA and the performance analysis is conducted to study the performance of those replication techniques by various parameters. The parameters used for the performance analysis of these three techniques are Load Variance, Response Time, Probability of File Availability, System Byte Effective Rate (SBER), Latency, and Fault Ratio. From the analysis, it is evaluated that by varying the number of file replicas, it shows deviations in the outcomes of these parameters. The comparative results were also analyzed.
