DEVELOPMENT OF AN EDUCATIONAL SECURE CLOUD DATA STORAGE INTEGRATED INTO THE INFRASTRUCTURE OF THE BELARUSIAN STATE UNIVERSITY

Abstract

The article discusses the basic principles and approaches to the design and development of a secure cloud repository, provides a rationale for the creation of such hardware and software systems. Architectural solutions for creating a secure repository using cloud technologies are described, the main approaches to the development and selection of fault-tolerant distributed storage software are identified, and the development of a module that provides access to storage system resources using cloud technologies is described. A feature of the proposed approach is the combined use of a cloud file system and a software module for providing cloud storage services integrated into the infrastructure of the institution. Unlike traditional storage systems, the proposed approach does not have a bottleneck in the form of a finite speed of the data access interface, and also has unlimited system scalability. The experience of creating a prototype of a secure cloud repository integrated into the Belarusian State University infrastructure is given. A feature of the created solutions is that they allow to provide reliable and fault-tolerant storage within the country, as well as provide mass user access to storage resources. The proposed integrated approach allows to build industry and country cloud geographically distributed data warehouses that provide high performance and scalability. The development of the proposed solutions will ensure the accumulation of digital data in the country, the security of stored data, the creation and development of information systems that require a large accumulation of data, as well as the implementation of an import substitution strategy in the field of creating cloud data storages.
