In this chapter, existing literature related to the research are reviewed from three major aspects. First, to investigate the data reliability pattern in storage devices, we review literature on hardware reliability theories and existing reliability models of storage devices. Second, to investigate data reliability models and data redundancy maintenance achieved by using software approaches in the Cloud, literature on data reliability modeling and data reliability assurance approaches in distributed data storage systems are reviewed. Third, to investigate data transfer for data creation and recovery in the Cloud, literature on data transfer approaches in distributed systems are reviewed.
