Cloud Computing for Big Data Analytics

Organizations these days are facing difficulties when dealing with a large amount of data. This large data some structured and mainly non-structured is commonly referred as Big Data. Organizations are unable to manage, manipulate, process, share and retrieve and analyze these large amounts of data by traditional software tools due to them being costly and time-consuming for data processing. The computer industry is being challenged to develop methods and techniques for affordable data processing on large datasets at optimum response times. Cloud computing is the new and trending solution for analyzing Big Data by deploying Big Data softwares like Hadoop on cloud environment to offer users a new paradigm of service called as Analytics as a Service. This paper focuses on two major issues-First one is why cloud computing is a new costeffective measure for big data analytics? And the second major issue is how cloud computing technologies and big data make big data analytics in clouds a reasonable option.
