Efficient Cloud-Based Resource Sharing Through Multi-Tenancy and Load Balancing: An Exploration of Higher Education and Digital Libraries

Abstract

Cloud computing has gained considerable attention in academia and industry in recent years. The cloud facilitates data sharing and enables cost efficiency, thus playing a vital role today as well as for the foreseeable future. In this paper, a brief discussion the application of multi-tenant and load-balancing technologies to cloud-based digital resource sharing suitable for academic and digital libraries is presented. As a new paradigm for digital resource sharing, a proposal of improving the current user service model with private cloud storage for other sectors, including the medical and financial fields is offered. This paper gives a summary of cloud computing and its possible applications, combined with digital data optimisation for web-based services. This study could aid in identification and generation of cloud-based services that use multi-tenant and load-balancing methodologies for the best quality of service.
