SSTF Algorithm in Cloud Storage Management

Abstract

Shortest Seek Time First (SSTF) is one of the disk scheduling algorithms which is used in memory management systems. This algorithm is primarily used in disk scheduling within an operating system that has the core principle of prioritizing requests based on proximity can be adapted for cloud storage management, particularly in optimizing data retrieval and resource allocation. Cloud computing is on-demand delivery of computing resources such as servers, storage, databases, networking, and software, over the internet which allows the users to access and use them without managing the underlying infrastructure. SSTF and Cloud computing has many real-life applications in day to day activities such as-Content Delivery Networks (CDNs), Database Systems, Object Storage
