RESEARCH CLUSTER - CLOUD COMPUTING & BIG DATA

Cloud computing has become a major growth area in IT spending, and enterprises should adapt to
the changes it brings to maximize the return on investment. Cloud computing is the delivery of computing
as a service rather than a product, whereby shared resources, software, and information are provided to
computers and other devices as a utility (like the electricity grid) over a network (typically the Internet).
Research indicates that the cloud computing industry segment is substantial and growing. According to
recent research, world-wide cloud services revenue was projected to reach approximately $148.8 billion in
the year 2016. Some of the significant benefits of cloud computing are, it improves the quality and reduces
software defects, Reduces server and application managing and maintenance costs and lowers end-user IT
support costs.

The significant feature of the cloud computing industry that it can act as an engine for driving
growth across other sectors— growth made possible by greater access to advanced computing resources,
often at lower prices. The prominent solutions that can be provided using cloud computing are Software as
a Service (SaaS), Platform as a Service (PaaS), Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) and Data as a Service
(DaaS). The Government of India has already kicks started implementing Cloud Services for e-governance,
Crime and Criminal Tracking Network & Systems (CCTNS) Scheme, e-Courts, Road Transport and
Treasuries. The entrepreneurs can startup using the cloud services such as IBM’s Bluemix and Google’s
GoogleApps to create application as a service and can deploy on their cloud to acquire big revenue without
much investment. The cloud computing model offers cost and flexibility advantages for startups.

The following are the objectives and action plan to establish cognizance about the cloud computing
among the staffs and students, the followings are performed,

1. Establish Hadoop cluster for big data processing

2. To establish a New Cloud Computing Research Lab
3. Designing a hybrid mechanism combined with video coding, and encryption
techniques to secure data storage and sharing in public cloud environment.
4. Design algorithms for Big Data Processing and Social Media Mining
5. To develop big data analytics and prediction models for different applications
leveraging the services of cloud computing
6. A hybrid crypto-based mechanism for secure data storage and sharing in public clouds
