Paper Details

Distributed file systems are considered to bebasic building blocks of cloud computing technology.Some of the file systems used to deploy cloud is Google filesystem, Hadoop file system and CEPH file system.Reviewing current healthcare statistics and currenthospital management system, a range of benefits can beobtained if healthcare system is shifted to cloud. In cloudcomputing, the data storage and computing are not in thelocal computer and server but in the amount of computersdistributed in the internet. Several distributed file systemsare used over the cloud because the cloud itself includeslarge numbers of commodity-grade servers, harnessed todeliver highly scalable and on-demand services. But asuitable file system inside healthcare is required which isreliable, scalable, and can handle large amounts ofpatients records giving a higher performance. So, in thispaper, we have reviewed3 distributed file system withrespect to its architecture and its suitability insidehealthcare cloud.The Hadoop Distributed File System andgoogle file system is designed to store very large data setsreliably, and to stream those data sets at high bandwidthto user applications and both have a similar architecturewith some differences.But HDFS is open sourceframework while gfs is not. Ceph is another distributedfile system which has different architecture. Parameterssuch as reliability, scalability and storage requirementsetc. are taken for comparison with respect to healthcare
