Cloud is the delivery of on-
demand computing resources
over the Internet on a pay-for-use
basis. It is the technology for
storing data in the air (Internet).
It’s like owning a part of the
server of the respective cloud

Personal Health Care(PHR) – Leaders in IT are working on PHR services. This
service allows a patient to create and control the personal health data in a
centralized place through the web from anywhere and anytime.
7. Upcoming Trends in
next 5 years
“SMAC will be a $3-5 billion opportunity in
next few years.” – N Chandrasekaran, CEO, TCS
Virtualization of Patient Care – Medical device manufacturers will
modernize the remote monitoring process and minimizing office visits
for both patients and clinicians. It is possible by centralizing the
patients’ data so that they can access it from anywhere using mobile
technology.
Hybrid Cloud – IT leaders will move to hybrid cloud because of its
delivery speed to end users, improved disaster recovery and better
resource utilization.
Global predictive analytics in banking – Banks will use the analytic
tools to set credit lines, premium amounts for customers. Government
agencies can use the system to curb the fraudulent activities.
8. Interest Areas
My interest area is Cloud Computing and analytics because
cloud computing is the most innovative technology
development in decades since Internet.
Apart from my passion, I intend to work on Cloud computing so
as to expand my skill sets and take practical experience.
If provided with an opportunity, I would really appreciate
working in the field of analytics and cloud computing related
applications in health care, banking and e-commerce.
In e-commerce, retailers and suppliers extract information from
social media to target their advertising and marketing
campaigns to customers. Social media platforms provide the
basis of analytics on behavioral patterns that organizations use
to derive meaningful information.
Banks use analytics to achieve greater profit and customer
satisfaction. Big Data in banks can benefit them by real time
fraud detection, and to influence the technology for bringing
new products to the market.
