Cloud storage is one of the service of cloud comput- ing. Cloud storage services are commercially popular because to their advantages. It allows data owners to move data from their local computing systems to the cloud. It offers high quality and on-demand data storage services to users. A cloud is essentially a large-scale distributed system; each piece of data is replicated on multiple geographically distributed servers to achieve high availability and high performance. A cloud service provider (CSP) keeps multiple replicas for user’s data on geographically distributed servers. A main problem of using the replication technique in clouds is that it is very expensive to achieve strong consistency on a worldwide scale. In this paper, we are reviewing consistency as a service (CaaS) model, a two-level auditing architecture and a heuristic auditing strategy (HAS) that reveals as many violations as possible.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
