The advent of cloud computing, data owners are motivated to outsource their complex
data management systems from local sites to commercial public cloud for great flexibility and
economic savings. But for protecting data privacy, sensitive data has to be encrypted before
outsourcing.Considering the large number of data users and documents in cloud, it is crucial for
the search service to allow multi-keyword query and provide result similarity ranking to meet the
effective data retrieval need. Related works on searchable encryption focus on single keyword
search or Boolean keyword search, and rarely differentiate the search results. We first propose a
basic MRSE scheme using secure inner product computation, and then significantly improve it to
meet different privacy requirements in two levels of threat models. The Incremental High Utility
Pattern Transaction Frequency Tree (IHUPTF-Tree) is designed according to the transaction
frequency (descending order) of items to obtain a compact tree.
By using high utility pattern the items can be arranged in an efficient manner. Tree structure
is used to sort the items. Thus the items are sorted and frequent pattern is obtained. The frequent
pattern items are retrieved from the database by using hybrid tree (H-Tree) structure. So the
execution time becomes faster. Finally, the frequent pattern item that satisfies the threshold value
is displayed.

The document discusses moving a law firm's IT infrastructure to the cloud to address issues with an aging server, data storage needs, collaboration, security, and costs. It outlines the benefits of cloud computing like scalability, accessibility, efficiency, savings, and competitive advantage. The firm implemented a virtual desktop solution in the cloud which provided faster access, no downtime, better collaboration, and eliminated infrastructure costs while improving security, backup, and performance over the firm's existing system.
Cloud hosting services allow for scaling up computing resources on demand through a pay-as-you-go model. This provides flexibility and cost savings compared to traditional hosting. Cloud hosting connects servers that can dynamically allocate resources, improving scalability for fluctuating traffic and data loads. It also reduces upfront infrastructure costs and allows companies to focus resources on their core business instead of IT maintenance.

A Study of A Method To Provide Minimized Bandwidth Consumption Using Regenera...IJERA Editor
Cloud storage systems to protect data from corruptions, redundant data to tolerate failures of storage and lost data should be repaired when storage fails. Regenerating codes provide fault tolerance by striping data across multiple servers, while using less repair traffic than traditional erasure codes during failure recovery. In previous research implemented practical Data Integrity Protection (DIP) scheme for regenerating-coding based cloud storage. Functional Minimum-Storage Regenerating (FMSR) codes and it construct FMSR-DIP codes, which allow clients to remotely verify the integrity of random subsets of long-term archival data under a multi server setting. The problem is to optimize bandwidth consumption when repairing multiple failures. The cooperative repair of multiple failures can help to further save bandwidth consumption when multiple failures are being repaired.
By working with IBM, the companies operators gained an early warning of potential performance and capacity issues and the visibility needed to improve storage allocation. In this case study you will find the exemple of a large European telecommunications company which has decreased energy costs by 25 - 50 percent; reduced storage costs by decreasing amount of data in Tier 1 storage from 90 percent to 20 percent; decreased spending on new Tier 1 storage arrays and reduced application placement time from one month to one day

3. ADDRESSING EXPONENTIAL DATA GROWTH /
exponential data growth, as well as the requirement for long term data retention, is one of today’s major it
challenges. traditional technologies struggle to keep pace with storage and data management requirements
(that can grow by up to 50% annually), which piles pressure on it budgets like never before. additional
challenges such as carbon footprint reduction add to the headache, costing businesses precious time and
resources as they focus on back-end infrastructure at the expense of front-end business systems.

4. YOUR DATA SERVICES /
you can take any of our solutions as a discrete service, but the greatest rewards lie in fully integrated multi-tier
data management. this ensures all data is automatically accorded the most appropriate treatment: replication
for mission-critical data (tier 1); backup for critical data (tier 2); and archiving for legacy data (tier 3).
