Abstract

Cloud computing is increasingly being used as a new computing model that provide users rapid on-demand access to computing resources with reduced cost and minimal management overhead. Data storage is one of the most famous cloud services that have attracted great attention in the research field. In this paper, we focus on the object storage of Microsoft Azure and Amazon cloud computing providers. This paper reviews object storage performance of both Microsoft Azure blob storage and Amazon simple storage service. Security and cost models for both cloud providers have been discussed as well.
