Abstract

Cloud storage faces many problems in the storage process which badly affect the system's efficiency. One of the most problems is insufficient buffer space in cloud storage. This means that the packets of data wait to have storage service which may lead to weakness in performance evaluation of the system. The storage process is considered a stochastic process in which we can determine the probability distribution of the buffer occupancy and the buffer content and predict the performance behavior of the system at any time. This paper modulates a cloud storage facility as a fluid queue controlled by Markovian queue. This queue has infinite buffer capacity which determined by the M/M/1/N queue with constant arrival and service rates. We obtain the analytical solution of the distribution of the buffer occupancy. Moreover, several performance measures and numerical results are given which illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed model.
