Data Analysis and Cloud Computing

The Internet of things (IoT) is the network which is connected with devices which are embedded with electronics, software, sensors, and network connectivity. Thus it enables these objects to connect and exchange necessary data. IoT can identify each device uniquely through its embedded computing system. To take it to next level, IoT is integrated to cloud computing to expand its operations even further more.

Fog computing is next level of computing that uses one or more  near-user edge devices to carry out a considerable amount of storage, communication control, configuration, measurement and management. It is a regionalize computing infrastructure in which data, compute, storage and applications are distributed in the most logical, efficient place between the data source and the cloud. It refers to extending cloud computing to the edge of an enterprise's network. Also known as Edge Computing or fogging, fog computing facilitates the operation of compute, storage, and networking services between end devices and cloud computing data centers.

We are now in the generation of groundbreaking Artificial Intelligence (AI) research and deployments. With its come new capabilities for Machine Learning (ML) and Deep Learning (DL), as organizations of all sizes work to create and use new insights from their existing operations while also seeking to develop new ways of making their systems and their organizations much smarter.

Mobile cloud computing is next generation of cloud computing making it available for every mobile user. This helps to access large data which is available in cloud. So much of research is going on this mobile cloud regarding its efficiency, adoptability, ease of understanding and security for the data and over the cloud.  

Distributed and Parallel Computing has undergone impressive changes over recent years. New architectures, advanced programming models, improved efficiency and novel application domains have rapidly become the central focus of this discipline. Because of distributed and parallel computing with other rapidly evolving technologies in different disciplines. It is of paramount importance to review and assess these new developments in relation with the recent research achievements in the different areas of distributed and parallel computing, considering both the industrial and scientific point of view.

High Performance Computing is referred as supercomputers which are the fastest and most powerful computers available, and at present the term refers to machines with hundreds of thousands of processors. They are the superstars of the high–performance computing. The following are the few topics, but are not limited to those topics only.

Data Analytics has become much easier after getting integrated with cloud computing. It also helped in making business more effective and the combination of both cloud computing and data analytics has helped the businesses to store, interpret, and process their big data to better meet their clients' needs. Thus Cloud computing has become very important part in Data Analytics.

Big data analysis examines large amounts of data to uncover hidden patterns, correlations and other insights. It is driven by specialized analysis systems and software .With today’s technology, it’s possible to analyze your data and get answers from it almost immediately. It can point the way to various business benefits, including new revenue opportunities, more effective marketing, better customer service, improved operational efficiency and competitive advantages over rivals.

Companies are investing so much for their data storage, maintenance, expansion and security of the data. Every year amount of data to be stored is increasing. Cloud computing is the answer for those problems faced by the company. It helps in storing more data, with much protection and is maintained by cloud computing providers. Hence, Cloud computing has more applications in the field of business.

A cloud services various types of services that are made available to users on demand via the Internet from a cloud computing servers. Cloud services are designed to provide easy, scalable access to applications, resources and services, and are fully managed by a cloud services provider. Cloud-computing providers offer their "services" in three standard models. They are Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), Platform as a Service (PaaS), and Software as a Service (SaaS). These models offer increasing remoteness; they are thus often portrayed as layers in a stack infrastructure, platform and software as a service, but these need not be related.

Cloud infrastructure contains of different elements such as networks systems, servers, storage, and virtualization. These are essential to maintain the efficiency of cloud computing. It also includes various layers that virtualizes resources and presents them to the users through API-enabled graphical interfaces.

Cloud operations and management are the processes that are concerned with designing, overseeing, controlling, and subsequently redesigning cloud operational processes. They aims to ensure that it is working efficiently in terms of using resources as required as well as meeting quality of service requirements, compliance requirements and especially customer satisfaction. This involves in the management of both hardware and software as well as network infrastructures to maintain an efficient cloud environment.

Cloud Computing is playing a vital role in our day-to-day life. Not only that but also reshaping the way that companies conduct business. Several companies and organizations are in the process of shifting to the cloud computing to achieve scalability, cost-efficiency and enhanced application performance. With an increased usage of cloud computing, let’s take a look at the upcoming trends that are taking shape in future.

As new innovations are coming in the field of computing, new challenges are also increasing. The technologies should be ready to solve those challenges. The following are some of the future Computing challenges. 

Cloud Computing security indicates technologies, and controls deployed to protect data, applications, and the associated infrastructure of cloud computing. It is a sub-domain of computer security, network security, and information security. Cloud computing security is a fast-growing service that provides many of the same functionalities as traditional IT security. This includes protecting critical information from theft, data leakage and deletion.

The issues and challenges of cloud computing’s performance, scalability, and reliability (PSR). Beginning with virtualization technology, a key element of cloud infrastructure, it examines issues facing in cloud PSR fields. Then, it addresses the challenges and problems in cloud computing PSR. It also examines intrusion detection methods and outlines counter measures to improve cloud PSR.
