This article presents the specification and implementation of a tool that aims to be an alternative to the problem of excessive data replication in order to be considered a reliable platform from the perspective of data availability. The tool works with the concept of data federation. The validation scenarios are presented, along with the results achieved.
Abstract Reliable storage of large amounts,of data is always a delicate issue. Availability, efficiency, data integrity, and confidentiality are some,features a data backup,system should provide. At the same time, corporate computers offer spare disk space and unused networking,resources. In this paper, we propose an intrusion-tolerant cooperative backup system that provides a reliable collaborative backup resource by leveraging these independent, distributed re- sources. This system makes,efficient use of network and storage resources through compression, encryption, and ef- ficient verification processes. It also implements a protocol to tolerate Byzantine behaviors, when nodes arbitrarily de- viate from their specifications. Experiments performed,to evaluate the proposal showed,its viability.

Peer-to-peer storage systems assume that their users consume resources in proportion to their contribution. Unfortunately, users are unlikely to do this without some enforcement mechanism. Prior solutions to this problem require centralized infrastructure, constraints on data placement, or ongoing administrative costs. All of these run counter to the design philosophy of peer-to-peer systems. requiring trusted third parties, symmetric storage relationships, monetary payment, or certified identities. Each peer that requests storage of another must agree to hold a claim in return---a placeholder that accounts for available space. After an exchange, each partner checks the other to ensure faithfulness. Samsara punishes unresponsive nodes probabilistically. Because objects are replicated, nodes with transient failures are unlikely to suffer data loss, unlike those that are dishonest or chronically unavailable. Claim storage overhead can be reduced when necessary by forwarding among chains of nodes, and eliminated when cycles are created. Forwarding chains increase the risk of exposure to failure, but such risk is modest under reasonable assumptions of utilization and simultaneous, persistent failure.
