Smart Parking Management : A smart way to manage your parking

We all know that population is increasing exponentially across the globe and the people are becoming richer due to high literacy rate, and their prosperity leads directly in the increase of vehicle ownership globally due to their luxurious life style. The increase in vehicles directly affect the parking which is becoming scarcer. This in turn making the parking authorities lack of enough resources. Finding a parking space has turned out to be a difficult task for the vehicle drivers which directly results into traffic clogging and due to this problem there is question that How to achieve efficient parking site administration is the question of the moment and the answer to this question is to use smart ways of parking management by use of parking system.

Unified communications : The future is bright

Unified communications is the combination of real time communication services and non real time communication services. Real time communication services consists of instant messaging like chatting, information, telephony, data sharing, video conferencing and speech recognition and non real time communication services consist unified messaging such as email, voice mail, SMS and fax.

It is not necessary that Unified Communication is a single product, but we can say that it is a set of products which provides a consistent user interface and user experience across multiple devices.

http://www.nd.gov

Unified Communication  allows an individual person to send a message on one medium through communication channel and receive the same communication on another medium. Let’s take an example one can receive a voice mail message and he can choose to access it through email or a mobile phone. If the sender of the voice mail is online according to the currently accepts calls or present information then the response can be sent immediately through video call or we can use text chat also. Otherwise it is said that it is a non real time message that can be accessed through a variety of media.

Unified communications is a developing set of technology that automates and unites human and device communications. It enhances human communications by eliminating device and media dependencies.

Components of Unified Communication:

Unified communications is not a single product but a collection of elements that includes

•        Call control and multimedia communications

•        Unified messaging

•        Instant messaging

•        Speech access and personal assistant

•        Conferencing through audio, web or video

•        Collaboration tools

•        Software to enable business process integration

•        Business process integration

•        Mobility

The future is bright

We can say that we are at the early stages of unified communication deployments or installments. Both vendors and enterprise customers are struggling to understand what the future of unified communication is. But one thing is certain that the future is bright according to the recent study by MarketsandMarkets and those companies that begin the move to Unified Communication deployment will have a great competitive edge over the companies that are delaying the decision of implementing unified communication.

Market Forecast

The study reports from a top research global firm states that the global Unified Communications as a Service market is expected to grow from $2.52 billion in 2013 to $7.62 billion by 2018, at an estimated CAGR of 24.8% from 2013 to 2018

Hadoop Market Research : Grow Your Business Using Big Data Analytics

Big Data Market Research

Big Data Hadoop is a software framework which is open source for the purpose of storage and processing of data sets on clusters of the hardware. Hadoop is an Apaches top level project being developed and used by a global community of contributors and users. It is licensed under the Apache License 2.0.

http://dreamorbit.com/

The Apache Hadoop consists of the following modules:

·    Hadoop Common – This module consist of  libraries and utilities which can be needed by other Hadoop modules

·    Hadoop MapReduce – This module is a programming model for large scale high level data processing.

·    Hadoop YARN – It is a resource management platform responsible for managing resources in clusters and later can be used for scheduling of user’s applications.

·     Hadoop Distributed File System – It is a back end of Hadoop. It is a distributed file system that stores data on commodity machines.

Why Hadoop?

As per the survey report 80 % of the world’s data is unstructured (i.e. means it not managed), and most business organizations don’t even attempt to use this data for their advantage. Imagine if you could afford to store all the data generated by your business? Imagine if you had an idea to analyze that data?

Hadoop is the answer to all the above questions as it can store data in a structured way and when the data is managed we can analyze it in a much greater and accurate way.

Hadoop enables a computing solution that is:

·         Scalable - New nodes can be added when needed and added without a need to change data formats or data.

·        Cost effective - Hadoop computes data parallel in commodity servers. The result is that there is a decrease in the cost per terabyte of data storage which in turn makes the data hosting and analyzing affordable.

·         Flexible - Hadoop can absorb any type of data no matter whether it is structured or not, no matter from how many number of sources the data is coming. Data from multiple sources can join and analyzed, aggregated in different ways.

·  Fault tolerant - When you lose or delete a node then the system doesn't give error but it redirects work to another location of the data and continues processing and analyzing without missing a beat.

Software Defined Networking : A Cost Effective And Fast Way of Networking

What is Software Defined Networking?

Software Defined Networking is an approach towards networking in which control is taken back from hardware and given to a software application which is called as controller. Software Defined Networking is used mostly in Software Defined Storage, Data Center, Software Defined Servers and Software Defined Data Center.

Software Defined Networking often states that software which is managing hardware is separate from that hardware, but it is certain that hardware may or may not have automation software embedded in it.

www.juniper.net

The ultimate goal of Software Defined Networking is to allow administrators and network engineers respond quickly to changing requirements of business. In software defined storage, without touching individual switches a network administrator can shape traffic from a centralized control console to anywhere. When necessary the administrator can change any network switch's rules as he is authorized for doing that stuff like blocking specific types of packets, prioritizing and de-prioritizing. This is what which is especially helpful in a cloud computing multi-layer architecture because it authorizes the administrator to manage or control traffic loads in a flexible and more efficient way. Especially, this authorizes the administrator to use less expensive commodity switches and have maximum control over network traffic flow than ever before. 

Software Defined Networking Deployment Models:

•          Symmetric versus Asymmetric
•          Flood less versus Flood Based
•          Host-based versus Network Centric 

Nowadays it is seen an Increasing demand for flexible and cost effective data centers along with the requirements for automatic networking configurations are playing an important role in shaping the future of the Software Defined Storage Market. Data Center Solutions can be independently operated and they can be integrated together to provide an overall cost effective solution for the data center or data centers.

The major things which are responsible for driving this software defined networking market are the innovations taking place in processing power, storage memory and manual networking configurations

According to the top research firm MarketsandMarkets the global software defined networking market which is estimated at $396.1 million in 2013 and expected to reach to $5.41 billion in 2018. This represents an estimated growth of 68.7% from 2013 to 2018. In the current market scenario it is seen that telecommunication service providers continue to be the largest user for Software Defined Storage solutions which is closely followed by cloud service providers. When it is In terms of regions then North America is expected to be the biggest market.

Latest News for Software Defined Networking is that AT&T Inc is going to adopt it.
