An Approach to Cloud Computing for Medical Image Analysis

Introduction To Cloud Computing

Cloud computing is a computing model, where a substantial pool of computing frameworks are associated in the private or open systems, to give progressively versatile foundation to the execution of Personal Computer (PC) application and information stockpiling. With the approach of this innovation, the expense of the computational procedure, application facilitating, content stockpiling and conveyance is diminished altogether. The virtual pictures of the physical machines in the data centers are provided to the clients. Virtualization is one of the principle ideas of the cloud computing framework as it basically assembles the reflection over the physical framework. Cloud computing is a prototype for enabling appropriate and on-demand network access to a shared pool of computing resources that can be rapidly stipulated and released with the cloud service provider interaction or minimal management effort. The service provider provides different types of services such as Software as a Service (SaaS), Platform as a Service (PaaS) or Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) to the customers across the world through the Internet. The cloud resizes the virtualized hardware automatically. Cloud computing system provides the technologies and tools to compute intensive parallel applications with affordable prices when compared to the existing parallel computing techniques. The architecture of cloud computing is shown in the Figure 1. The benefits of cloud computing system are depicted in Figure 2. The advantages of the cloud computing system are described below Ankita Yadav et.al., (2016).

• •

  Cost effective

• •

  On-demand services

• •

  Remote access

• •

  High efficiency and scalability

• •

  Improved flexibility and reliability

• •

  Maximum resilience without redundancy

Public Cloud

The public cloud allows the systems and services to be easily accessible to the general users. Public cloud might be less secure because of its receptiveness, e.g. email. Public cloud is a completely virtualized condition. Furthermore, suppliers have a multi-inhabitant engineering that empowers clients or occupants to share the figuring assets, for example, PCs, virtual machines, servers, applications and capacity Yarlagadda et.al.,(2011). Information of each tenant is stored in the public cloud. Notwithstanding, it stays segregated from different inhabitants. Public cloud likewise depends on the high-transmission capacity arrange network to quickly transmit information Masdari et.al., 92017). Public cloud stockpiling is commonly excess, utilizing various data centers and cautious replication of document renditions. Figure 3 demonstrates the public cloud.

The main benefits of a public cloud service are:

• •

  It prevents the need for the business organizations to invest and maintain their own on-premises resources.

• •

  High scalability to meet workload and user demands.

• •

  Fewer wasted resources as the customers should only pay for the resources they use.
