Cloud Computing and Data Management

Cloud computing is the use of the Internet to access data storage, computational resources, apps, servers, etc. Comparable to having data stored and accessible online as opposed to on our personal hard drive or database. A scalable and effective approach to large-scale data management is emerging:cloud-based data management. Increasingly businesses are migrating their data management systems from high-end, pricey servers to the cloud, which is made up of less expensive, commodity hardware. A growing number of people are interested in contracting out database administration work to outside companies since they can do it more cheaply because of economies of scale. The ability to buy resources on demand is a benefit of cloud data management. Moreover, data can be shared within on-premises storage and across public and private clouds. A cloud-based data management system performs the same duties as a traditional data management system with modifications made to meet cloud requirements. In this paper, we will discuss about the growing usage of cloud technologies for data management and the challenges faced by it.
