Cloud Storage Data Management (Cope, Erl)
How can cloud consumers directly interact with data stored on a cloud storage device or provide access to other cloud consumers with appropriate permission levels?
Problem
Cloud consumers may not own or have permissions to the cloud-hosted storage devices that contain their data. This can limit their ability to access and manage datasets important to their business.
Solution
A solution is provided that enables cloud consumers to directly interact with data stored on a cloud storage device.
Application
A cloud storage management portal mechanism can be used to provide an interface or APIs for cloud consumers to interact with data stored on a cloud storage device.
