Abstract
Unstructured data is growing exponentially. Present day storage infrastructures like Storage Area Networks and Network Attached Storage are not very suitable for storing huge volumes of unstructured data. This has led to the development of new types of storage technologies like object-based storage. Huge amounts of both structured and unstructured data that needs to be made available in real time for analytical insights is referred to as Big Data. On account of the distinct nature of big data, the storage infrastructures for storing big data should possess some specific features. In this chapter, the authors examine the various storage technology options that are available nowadays and their suitability for storing big data. This chapter also provides a bird's eye view of cloud storage technology, which is used widely for big data storage.

Optimising P2P Networks by Adaptive Overlay Construction
A distributed network architecture may be called a Peer-to-Peer network, if the participants share a part of their own hardware resources (processing power, storage capacity, network link capacity, printers). They are accessible by other peers directly, without passing intermediary entities. The participants of such a network are thus resource providers as well as resource requestors (Servent-concept).
