Abstract: Data replication is crucial in enhancing data availability and reducing access latency in cloud computing. This paper presents a dynamic duplicate management method for cloud storage systems based on the Inverted Ant Colony Optimization (IACO) algorithm and a fuzzy logic system. The proposed approach optimizes data replication decisions focusing on energy consumption, response time, and cost. Extensive simulations demonstrate that the IACO-based method outperforms existing techniques, achieving a remarkable 25% reduction in energy consumption, a significant 15% improvement in response time, and a substantial 20% cost reduction. By addressing the research gap concerning integrating IACO and fuzzy logic for data replication, our work contributes to advancing cloud computing solutions for large datasets. The proposed method offers a viable and efficient approach to improve resource utilization and system performance, benefiting various scientific fields.
