Nowadays, the need for more costeffective storage and software solutions together with mobile access has led to a rise in the adoption of cloud computing.

While the benefits of cloud computing are clear, the flexibility and openness of the cloud computing model has created a number of security concerns about the privacy integrity and availability of data.

In fact, apart of the cyber trust issues, the high running costs of data centre, is also another key problem to data centre owers as the energy cost of data centres is known to make up a significant percentage of a business operating costs.
