%X Companies are often challenged to increase the functionality of IT while minimizing capital expenditures. Cloud providers operated on proprietary closed architectures that make migration a headache. In this paper we present a Cost based approach for selecting Multi-Cloud Storage. We found that our model fits the practical requirements and supports decision making in Cloud Computing. In this work we observed that, from customer¡¯s point of view relying upon a solo service provider for his outsourced data is not very promising, so we propose a Cost Based Approach model in cloud computing which holds an economical distribution of data among the available service providers in the market to provide customers with data availability.
