The embodiments of present disclosure herein address the need of minimizing web services relocation and user centers reallocation to comply with data residency regulations and change in latency threshold for web services based on user demands. The method and system provide a framework that assists enterprises in migrating web services and user center allocation to different data centers with lower additional operational cost from its current configurations and minimal changes (migrations). In case of change in data regulations and invocation frequency from users demand, non-compliant users are allocated to compliant data centers with minimal changes in the original configuration. Though the key decision is to serve the customers effectively, web services need to be deployed across a finite number of servers, there are multiple sub-problems such as minimizing latency and reduction in operational cost that needs to be addressed.

System and method for web services relocation and users reallocation for data residency compliance

The present disclosure a method for data regulations-aware cloud storage and processing service allocation. Conventional approaches fail to address the technical problem of data placement for storage as well as processing, considering multiple criteria. Further, the conventional approaches fail to address compliance with data regulations, tier pricing policy for multiple Cloud Service Providers (CSPs) which impacts storage and processing center selection and constraint satisfaction. The present disclosure proposes a joint optimization model for the selection of storage and processing services from multiple cloud service providers, taking into practical consideration of data regulations and tiered pricing, which has not been addressed in the prior art. To solve this hard multi-objective combinatorial optimization problem, the present disclosure utilizes a cost-reduction-based algorithm for obtaining optimal solution.

Method and system for data regulations-aware cloud storage and processing service allocation

Existing data residency compliance techniques suffer from inherent drawbacks to discover the spread of data, understanding the data residency regulations and semantics behind them and most importantly placement of data in cloud datacenters such that it is data residency compliant. Embodiments herein provide a method and system for optimizing placement of data to a cloud datacenter complying data residency regulations. The system selects one serving cloud datacenter for a user center. The selection considers three conflicting objectives such as minimum data placement cost, provide good quality of service (i.e. latency) and to comply with data residency regulations. The system essentially covers data residency compliance problem in three phases namely, violation detection, decision support and recommendation. Herein, the system trades-offs latency with data placement cost. Further, the system considers user center location, determined violation of data residency regulations, cost of movement from one datacenter to another, and a predefined threshold latency.
