Data Handling Technologies

Cloud computing:
      Essential characteristics according to NIST
        On‐demand self-service
        Broad network access
        Resource pooling
        Rapid elasticity
        Measured service

       Basic service models provided by cloud computing
        Infrastructure‐as‐a‐Service (IaaS)
        Platform‐as‐a‐Service (PaaS)
        Software‐as‐a‐Service (SaaS)

Internet of Things (IoT):
 According to Techopedia, IoT “describes a future where every day physical objects will be connected to the internet and will be able to identify themselves to other devices.”
 Sensors embedded into various devices and machines and deployed into fields.
 Sensors transmit sensed data to remote servers via Internet.
 Continuous data acquisition from mobile equipment, transportation facilities, public facilities, and home appliances.

Data handling at data centers:
 Storing, managing, and organizing data.
 Estimates and provides necessary processing capacity.
 Provides sufficient network infrastructure.
 Effectively manages energy consumption.
 Replicates data to keep backup.
 Develop business oriented strategic solutions from big data.
 Helps business personnel to analyze existing data.
