Design and Development of a Real Time Virtualized Cloud Based Mobile Phones Data Storage for Ethio Telecom

Abstract

Mobile phone is one of the most widely and extensively used devices for communication across the world for both personal and business activities. The capabilities of mobile phones have been improving very quickly in terms of computing power, storage, feature support, and developed applications. Mobile Cloud Computing simply refers to an infrastructure where both the data storage and the data processing are made to happen outside of the mobile phones. With the advent of cloud services for mobile application, it has greatly enhanced the scalability and security. Hence, it stores contact numbers and messages sent from different mobile users in its memory and SIM card. However, if the mobile phone or the SIM card is lost or damaged due to different incidents, the information stored before can decidedly be lost. Such instant is very costly and risky for recovery of the lost information. Most cloud file storage providers offer limited free use and charge for additional storage once the free limit is exceeded. However, Ethio telecom customers don’t have any means of using a mobile cloud computing services in order to share and access their files, documents, contacts, photos, videos. The reason behind the problem is lack of online payment system in Ethiopia. Even though various cloud computing model are existed, in this paper private cloud computing model is chosen which involves a distinct and secure cloud based environment in which only the specified customers can operate. In order to solve a problem a new mobile cloud computing architecture is designed through private cloud computing model. In effect, based on this architecture design, a new algorithm for Mobile users is developed so as to get unlimited, available and scalable data storage capacity.
