Personal Cloud P2P

Small and medium sized businesses have lacked of good and automate backup system. Data storages are unreliable and tend to fail without any warning. Whereas, personal computers are already equipped with terabytes of hard drives. This is enormous space for personal or business use. Under normal working conditions, more than half of total storage space is not being used. It is scattered in all connected devices. This paper proposes pooling unused storage resources to create a personal private cloud. The process will be transparent to the users by having a reliable drive with an auto backup built in. The proposed system solution uses a replica-based model in which three sets of the same information would distribute and keep in three different nodes. All the participated nodes are peer-to-peer (P2P) and are decentralized. Therefore, private cloud system can support small or medium businesses as backup system or business sharing drives without adding any cost.
