survey about the encoding techniques used in cloud computing

Question

I am trying to perform a survey on the encoding techniques which can be applied to a file before storing it in the cloud. So far I have only encountered Reed Solomon erasure coding mechanism, in literature.

I am wondering if someone can point out to make if other techniques like rateless codes, which include LT codes or raptor codes can also be applied.

If anyone is aware of a survey conducted on the different encoding mechanisms, and if you can point me to this it will be great.

Thanks
