Big Data Development Platform for Engineering Applications

However, although the cloud provides benefits like storage of data as well as data regulating properties, sometimes the flow of data is limited by boundaries that prevent the right data to flow at the right time and at the right place. IBM has come up with a solution to prevent this issue from recurring again. It is known as IBM Cloudant, a database service platform built to ensure flow of data between the application and its database remains uninterrupted, and highly performant (IBM Analytics, n.d). It also ensures that data accessibility for online or offline premises always in smooth sailing without any limitations. The Cloudant also enable users to be connected through interactions. Another service that the cloud provides in the Cloudant is a built-in self-service data refinery called Data works. It filters information analyzed from the data. It is very simple and secure enough to use, even for personal data (IBM, n.d). Organizations or institutions are the perfect candidates to use the cloud because they usually handle a large volume of data that ranges from personal to non-personal ones. For example, records, and details of students and lecturers, or private and confidential data, like financial information of the institution and many more.

In the storage, analysis and visualisation of sensed data, several IoT platforms were utilised. Typical examples as found in the studies include ThingSpeak, Erconms and Xively. Some other studies have used SD card, SQLite, MySQL and Cloudant for storing sensor data. Onboard SD card and SQLite typically run on the microcontroller board and serves as a means for initial storage of data before it is sent for further analysis. Cloudant is a cloud database and it allows remote access of sensed data from mobile or web platforms using dedicated web addresses (i.e. uniform resource locator - url). ThingSpeak, Erconms and Xively are IoT platforms that offers more than just data storage. They are composed of storage, analysis and visualisation functionalities. Erconms provides a web-based application for processing, logging and visualising the sensed data. Xively is a public IoT cloud that enables remote accessibility of measured data. It stores data and displays it via a web application. ThingSpeak is the most robust of the three. It is an open source IoT platform and it is capable offering remote data monitoring, data aggregation, decision-making and data analytics. Visualisation of sensed data is made possible with MATLAB.21 Following data analytics, the visualisation and analytics can be viewed by connecting to the ThingSpeak platform from an internet-enabled device.
