Abstract

Blockchains, a decentralized storage technique, have many applications, including in reengineering cloud datacenters. This article proposes a conceptual model for fusing blockchains and cloud computing for additional value creation. The proposed model comprises three deployment modes: Cloud over Blockchain (CoB), Blockchain over Cloud (BoC), and Mixed Blockchain-Cloud (MBC). The article also highlights the potential benefits of such a fusion and outlines a number of future research directions.
