CLOUD DATA STORAGE LOCATION MONITORING

摘要

Technologies for monitoring data storage location for cloud data include a cloud monitoring server configured to communicate with one or more cloud customer computing devices and cloud service providers. The cloud monitoring server receives monitoring requests from the cloud customer computing devices and retrieves provider information from the cloud service providers. The cloud monitoring server compiles response data based on the monitoring requests and the provider information, and sends response data to the cloud customer computing devices. Cloud customer computing devices may send on-demand monitoring requests and/or continuous, policy-based monitoring requests. For policy-based monitoring, the cloud monitoring server continually monitors the provider information and provides response data when one or more conditions specified in the policy are satisfied. The cloud monitoring server may also make recommendations and provide feedback based on the monitoring requests or the provider information. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

主权项

1. A cloud monitoring server for monitoring customer data stored by one or more cloud services, the cloud monitoring server comprising:
a cloud customer interface module to receive a monitoring request from a cloud customer computing device; a cloud provider interface module to collect provider information from a cloud service provider in response to receiving the monitoring request, the provider information to include storage location information of customer data stored by the cloud service provider; and a data analysis engine to compile response data based on the monitoring request and the provider information; wherein the cloud customer interface module is to send the response data to the cloud customer computing device.
