In this context, SaaS vendors provide an excellent platform for conducting the analysis.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Being an evolving technology and relatively\u00a0a new concept, Big data carries few myths. Let&#8217;s go through some common <a href=\"https:\/\/www.whizlabs.com\/blog\/big-data-myths-facts\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Big Data Myths and Facts<\/a> behind them.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h3 class=\"p11\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_is_Big_Data_Related_to_Cloud_Computing\"><\/span><span class=\"s1\">How is Big Data Related to Cloud Computing?<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"p1\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"s1\">Hence, from the above description, we can see that Cloud enables &#8220;As-a-Service&#8221; pattern by abstracting the challenges and complexity through a scalable and elastic self-service application. Big data requirement is same where distributed processing of massive data is abstracted from the end users. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"s1\">There are multiple benefits of Big data analysis in Cloud.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul class=\"ul1\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li class=\"li1\">\n<h5><span class=\"s1\">Improved analysis<\/span><\/h5>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"p1\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"s1\">With the advancement of Cloud technology, big data analysis has become more improved causing better results. Hence, companies prefer to perform big data analysis in the Cloud. Moreover, Cloud helps to integrate data from numerous sources.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul class=\"ul1\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li class=\"li1\">\n<h5><span class=\"s1\">Simplified Infrastructure<\/span><\/h5>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"p1\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"s1\">Big Data analysis is a tremendous strenuous job on infrastructure as the data comes in large volumes with varying speeds, and types which traditional infrastructures usually cannot keep up with. As the Cloud computing provides flexible infrastructure, which we can scale according to the needs at the time, it is easy to manage workloads.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul class=\"ul1\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li class=\"li1\">\n<h5><span class=\"s1\">Lowering the cost<\/span><\/h5>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"p1\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"s1\">Both Big data and Cloud technology delivers value to organizations by reducing the ownership. The Pay-per-user model of Cloud turns CAPEX into OPEX. On the other hand, Apache cut down the licensing cost of Big data which is supposed to be cost millions to build and buy. Cloud enables customers for big data processing without large-scale big data resources. Hence, both Big Data and Cloud technology are driving the cost down for enterprise purposes and bringing value to the enterprise.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul class=\"ul1\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li class=\"li1\">\n<h5><span class=\"s1\">Security and Privacy<\/span><\/h5>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"p1\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"s1\">Data security and privacy are two major concerns when dealing with enterprise data. Moreover, when your application is hosted on a Cloud platform due to its open environment and limited user control security becomes a primary concern. On the other hand, being an open source application, Big data solution like Hadoop uses a lot of third-party services and infrastructure. Hence, nowadays system integrators bring in Private Cloud Solution that is Elastic and Scalable. Furthermore, it also leverages Scalable Distributed Processing.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"s1\">Besides that Cloud data is stored and processed in a central location commonly known as Cloud storage server. Along with it the service provider and the customer signs a service level agreement (SLA) to gain the trust between them. If require the provider also leverages required advanced level of security control. This enables the security of big data in Cloud computing covering the following issues: <\/span><\/p>\n<ul class=\"ul1\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none;\">\n<ol class=\"ol1\">\n<li class=\"li1\"><span class=\"s1\">Protecting big data from advanced threats. <\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"li1\"><span class=\"s1\">How Cloud service providers maintain storage and data.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"p1\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"s1\">There are rules associated with service level agreements for protecting <\/span><\/p>\n<ul class=\"ul1\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li class=\"li1\"><span class=\"s1\">data<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"li1\"><span class=\"s1\">capacity<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"li1\"><span class=\"s1\">scalability<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"li1\"><span class=\"s1\">security<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"li1\"><span class=\"s1\">privacy<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"li1\"><span class=\"s1\">availability of data storage and data growth<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"p1\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"s1\">On the other hand in many organizations, big data analytics is utilized to detect and prevent advanced threats and malicious hackers.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul class=\"ul1\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li class=\"li3\">\n<h5><span class=\"s1\">Virtualization<\/span><\/h5>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"p1\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"s1\">Infrastructure plays a crucial role to support any application. Virtualization technology is the ideal platform for big data. Virtualized big data applications like Hadoop provide multiple benefits which are not accessible on physical infrastructure, but it simplifies big data Management. Big data and Cloud computing point to the convergence of various technologies and trends that makes IT infrastructure and related applications more dynamic, more expendable and more modular and. Hence, Big data and Cloud computing projects rely heavily on virtualization<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"p12\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Big_Data_and_Cloud_Computing_Courses\"><\/span><span class=\"s1\">Big Data and Cloud Computing Courses<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"p3\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"s1\">Learning Big data and Cloud computing together comes under specialty course as the two technologies are based on different architectures.
