Cloud services offer many benefits from information and communication technology that to be credible must first be secured. To use the potential of cloud computing, data is transferred, processed and stored in the infrastructures of these service providers. This indicates that the owners of data, particularly enterprises, have puzzled when storing their data is done outside the scope of their control. Research conducted on this topic show how this should be addressed unequivocally. The provided information on the organization of cloud computing models, services and standards, with a focus on security aspects in protecting enterprise data where emphasis shows how data access is treated with reliability from providers of these services.

  • Geospatial Data AS a Service: Use Cases
    GEOSPATIAL DATA AS A SERVICE USE CASES A Report of the National Geospatial Advisory Committee December 2018 Geospatial Data as a Service – Use Cases December 2018 Introduction This document was developed to complement the material in the NGAC report on Geospatial Data as a Service: A vital investment in American Enterprise and to provide real-world use cases of Data as a Service (DaaS) in action. DaaS opens new possibilities and innovation by improving access to and use of data. Users and producers across government, industry, open source, education, and the sciences are turning to DaaS to meet their huge appetite for information, exponential storage needs, data archiving and to minimize data duplication and reduce costs. To illustrate these points, we examined four case studies that provide more in-depth use cases from across Federal and local agencies and the private sector. These case studies showcase real world scenarios with large, distributed data sources to support a broad range of end user needs. The case studies presented are not intended to be an exhaustive list of examples of DaaS in use; there are many other relevant examples and programs of DaaS across the stakeholder community. To demonstrate use of DaaS for local governments and emergency response, we highlight the work of the Missouri Task Force One (MO-TF1) and Boone County Fire Protection District (BCFPD). MO-TF1 and BCFPD are using public cloud for basemap creation, data access, and delivery to enable a common operating picture of critical data during deployments. (Appendix 1 - Data as a Service & Cloud Computing: Disaster Response Just-in-Time Basemap Creation for Deployments).

Such data can be directly or indirectly related to geospatial information [3]. Communicating by using information technology in various ways produces big amounts of data. Such data requires Cloud computing refers to on-demand computer resources and processing and storage. The cloud is an online storage model systems available across the network that can provide a where data is stored on multiple virtual servers. Big data number of integrated computing services without local processing represents a new challenge in computing, resources to facilitate user access. These resources include especially in cloud computing. Data processing involves data data storage capacity, backup and self-synchronization [4]. acquisition, storage and analysis. In this respect, there are Most IT Infrastructure computing consist of services that are many questions including, what is the relationship between provided and delivered through public centers and servers big data and cloud computing? And how is big data processed based on them. Here, clouds appear as individual access in cloud computing? The answer to these questions will be points for the computing needs of the consumer.

  • Evolution of As-A-Service Era in Cloud
    Evolution of as-a-Service Era in Cloud Sugam Sharma Center for Survey Statistics and Methodology, Iowa State University, Ames, Iowa, USA Email: [email protected] Abstract. Today, a paradigm shift is being observed in science, where the focus is gradually shifting toward the cloud environments to obtain appropriate, robust and affordable services to deal with Big Data challenges (Sharma et al. 2014, 2015a, 2015b). Cloud computing avoids any need to locally maintain the overly scaled computing infrastructure that include not only dedicated space, but the expensive hardware and software also. In this paper, we study the evolution of as-a-Service modalities, stimulated by cloud computing, and explore the most complete inventory of new members beyond traditional cloud computing stack. Keywords. Cloud, as-a-Service 1. Introduction Today, the cloud computing also has emerged as one of the major shifts in recent information and communication age that promises an affordable and robust computational architecture for large-scale and even for overly complex enterprise applications (Fenn et al. 2008). It is a powerful and revolutionary paradigm that offers service-oriented computing and abstracts the software-equipped hardware infrastructure from the clients or users. Although, the concept of cloud computing is mainly popular in three praxises- 1) IaaS (Infrastructure-as-a-Service ), 2) PaaS (Platform-as-a-Service ), and 3) SaaS (Software-as-a-Service ), but in this data science age, should be equally expandable to DBaaS (Database- as-a-Service ) (Curino, et al., 2011; Seibold et al., 2012). Over the last few year, the cloud computing has evolved as scalable, secure and cost-effective solutions to an overwhelming number of applications from diversified areas.

  • Pengembangan Private Cloud Storage Sebagai Sentralisasi Data Universitas Nahdlatul Ulama Sidoarjo Berbasis Open Source Owncloud
    Jurnal Ilmu Komputer dan Desain Komunikasi Visual Vol 3, No 1, Juli 2018 ISSN (Cetak) : 2541-4550 ISSN (Online) : 2541-4585 Pengembangan Private Cloud Storage sebagai Sentralisasi Data Universitas Nahdlatul Ulama Sidoarjo Berbasis Open Source Owncloud 1 2 Moch Kholil , Syahri Mu’min 1 Program Studi D2 Penyuntingan Audio dan Video (Multimedia) Akademi Komunitas Negeri Putra Sang Fajar Blitar Jln. Tanjung No.1 Blitar [email protected] 2 Program Studi Sistem Informasi, Fakultas Ilmu Komputer, Universitas Nahdlatul Ulama Sidoarjo Jln. Mongonsidi Kav. DPR Sidoklumpuk Sidoarjo [email protected] Abstrak Cloud Storage memberikan beberapa kemudahan dalam sentralisasi penyimpanan data. Cloud Storage merupakan media penyimpanan yang di dalam pengaksesannya memerlukan jaringan internet. File dan data disimpan di komputer dimana user harus membuat akun Cloud Storage terlebih dahulu. Sebagai langkah kemudahan dalam mengakses data dalam sebuah instansi maka dibutuhkan strategi sentralisasi data yang dapat diakses dan berbagi file atau data bersama dengan biaya lebih murah. Private Cloud Storage bisa dicapai dengan mengimplementasikan Framework ownCloud berbasis Open Source. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengembangkan teknologi penyimpanan data secara terpusat yang memungkinkan user bisa berbagi file atau data bersama. Kata Kunci: Cloud Storage, ownCloud, Private Cloud Storage, Open Source 1. PENDAHULUAN Perkembangan teknologi saat ini mengalami perubahan yang sangat pesat. Hal ini mempengaruhi perkembangan media penyimpanan pada komputer dari masa ke masa. Salah satu jenis berkembangannya adalah media penyimpanan berbasis cloud (awan). Cloud (awan) adalah metafora dari internet, sebagaimana awan yang sering digambarkan di diagram jaringan komputer. Menurut makalah tahun 2008 yang dipublikasikan IEEE Internet Computing, Cloud Computing merupakan suatu paradigma dimana informasi secara permanen tersimpan di server intenet dan tersimpan secara sementara di computer pengguna (client) termasuk di dalamnya desktop, komputer, tablet, notebook dan lain- lain.
