A Secure Cloud Computing Architecture Design

The high costs of network platforms, growth in customer requirements, data volumes and pressures on response time pushed companies to migrate to Cloud Computing providing on demand internet hosted IT services. Cloud computing is based essentially on platforms and servers virtualization and promises the reduction of costs and the increase of flexibility. However, there are still some challenges to be solved. Amongst these are security and trust issues, since the user's data has to be released to the Cloud and thus leaves the protection-sphere of the data owner. In this paper, we propose a cloud computing architecture offering the ease of resources management, access security and service availability in a reliable structure with lower cost.
