The corporate network needs to scale up to sup- port thousands of participants, while the installation of a large-scale centralized data warehouse system entails nontrivial costs including huge hardware/software investments and high maintenance cost. In the real world, most companies are not keen to invest heavily on additional information systems until they can clearly see the potential return on investment (ROI). To maximize the revenues, companies often dynamically adjust their business process and may change their business partners. Therefore, the participants may join and leave the corporate networks at will. The data warehouse solution has not been designed to handle such dynamicity. To address the aforementioned problem, In this abstract, we present BestPeer++, a system which delivers elastic data sharing services for corporate network applications in the cloud based on BestPeer—a peer-to-peer (P2P) based data management platform. By integrating cloud computing, database, and P2P technologies into one system, BestPeer++ provides an economical, flexible and scalable platform for corporate network applications and delivers data sharing services to participants based on the widely accepted pay-as-you-go business model. We evaluate BestPeer++ on Amazon EC2 Cloud platform. The benchmarking results show that BestPeer++ outperforms HadoopDB, a recently proposed large-scale data processing system, in performance when both systems are employed to handle typical corporate network workloads. The benchmarking results also demonstrate that BestPeer++ achieves near linear scalability for throughput with respect to the number of peer node.
