Abstract
As the expenses of medical care administrations rise and medical services experts are becoming rare, it is up to medical services organizations and institutes to consider the implementation of medical Health Information Technology (HIT) innovation frameworks. HIT permits health associations to smooth out their considerable cycles and offer types of assistance in a more productive and financially savvy way. With the rise of Cloud Storage Computing (CSC), an enormous number of associations and undertakings have moved their healthcare data sources to distributed storage. As the information can be mentioned whenever universally, the accessibility of information becomes an urgent need. Nonetheless, outages in cloud storage essentially influence the accessibility level. Like the other basic variables of cloud storage (e.g., reliability quality, performance, security, and protection), availability also directly impacts the data in cloud storage for e-Healthcare systems. In this paper, we systematically review cloud storage mechanisms concerning the healthcare environment. Additionally, in this paper, the state-of-the-art cloud storage mechanisms are critically reviewed for e-Healthcare systems based on their characteristics. In short, this paper summarizes existing literature based on cloud storage and its impact on healthcare, and it likewise helps researchers, medical specialists, and organizations with a solid foundation for future studies in the healthcare environment.
Highlights
Before the advent of cloud computing, data used to be stored and retrieved locally from a single machine, but the single machine was not reliable due to synchronization issues of the backup data.In case of damage, the users were not able to retrieve recent data from that local machine
Research methods that are been used for the availability of cloud storage over the 10+ years has been distributed in Table 1 with majority of them focusing on the conceptual nature (15 papers), while others concluding results from case study work (25 papers)
To make our cloud storage architecture tolerance free from the causes of outages, the following are the basic mechanisms used for the minimization of cloud outages and an increase in the availability of data over the cloud, whereas Figure 3 represents the hierarchy of Cloud Storage concerning availability mechanisms
