A Theoretical Study On The Performance Characteristics Of Different Cloud Storage Access Protocols

Author(s) Mr. Samit Banerjee, Prof. (Dr) Binod Kumar
Country India
Abstract Cloud storage has become a cornerstone technology for modern data management, offering scalable, flexible, and accessible storage solutions across various applications. However, the performance of cloud storage systems largely depends on the access protocols used to interact with stored data. This paper presents a theoretical study that investigates the performance characteristics of different cloud storage access protocols, including RESTful APIs, WebDAV, FTP/SFTP, SMB, NFS, and gRPC-based protocols. By analysing their architectural designs, operational mechanisms, and performance implications, the study identifies the strengths and limitations of each protocol under various workload scenarios. The findings highlight that no single protocol excels universally; instead, protocol choice must align with specific application requirements, workload types, and deployment environments. This research contributes to a deeper understanding of how protocol design influences cloud storage performance, providing valuable insights for system architects and developers in selecting and optimizing access protocols. Finally, recommendations and future research directions are proposed to support more efficient, scalable, and reliable cloud storage solutions.
