In the real time processing, a new emerging technology where the need of connecting smart devices with cloud through Internet has raised. IoT devices processed information is to be stored and accessed anywhere needed with a support of powerful computing performance, efficient storage infrastructure for heterogeneous systems and software which configures and controls these different devices. A lot of challenges to be addressed are listed with this new emerging technology as it needs to be compatible with the upcoming 5G wireless devices too. In this paper, the benefits and challenges of this innovative paradigm along with the areas open to do research are shown.
Cloud computing is an accelerating technology that allows to use the IT capabilities according to the user's desire or according to the business needs and can be used anywhere -at office, house or any other holiday site for the reason that the cloud is accessible by a network like the Internet. It provides 'as a service' to IT capabilities, such as software applications, storage, network, interface, infrastructure etc.
Internet of Things is a new concept in information technology world and communication sectors [1]. In short, it is a modern technology where gives every creature such as humans, animals or objects the ability to send and receive data via network communication ranging from the Internet or an intranet [2]. Smart devices are gathered in one batch which is called Internet of Things. At a basic level, in fact, Internet of Things assist on the relationship between different objects via the Internet and their communication with each other to achieve the purpose of providing more efficient and more intelligent experience [3]. As with any new technology, IoT seemed a confusing concept at first. Moreover, this concept defined new and unique meanings especially when it comes to safety and security standards [4]. In other words, the idea of designing different devices with an ability to have a wireless communication to be tracked and controlled via the Internet or even through a single Smartphone’s application describe the term: Internet of Things [5].
Affordable: Customers do not have to make any investments in their infrastructure or equipment, so cloud proves very economical in the long run. In addition, the payment of Cloud is, through the ‘pay as you go’ method depending on the demand of the needed resources, to the service provider. In this way the customer avoids unnecessary or extra payments and only gives the same amount as the resources are used by the business -fewer resources and less resources and more money. Secure: If your laptop or business phone is lost, then the critical business data goes along with it and it does not lessen any terrible tragedy. But if the data is stored in the cloud like OneDrive, then customer does not have to fear it, because it can be accessed by using any device or machine and remotely can wipe all critical data from the lost device. Efficient growth: The optimum capacity of resources in the cloud is used, so the cloud solutions prove to be very beneficial. Cloud not only enhances the efficiency of the business but also increases the efficiency of the employees, because the use of cloud applications can be used by employees not just in the office but anywhere -all of their mails, documents, everything, so with the help of the cloud right In effect, ‘office on the go’ is realized. Elastic and scalable: Whether it is bandwidth, storage or any other resource, everything can be enhanced and reduced according to the business demand in the cloud. It is much better than the old ways of hosting where the prescribed resources are given and whether you use them or not, you have to pay the full amount. Avoiding Downtime or Delay: Cloud is a network of connected servers. Therefore, if any node fails, then all of its load is taken away by the second cloud node, so the business site is on the cloud server, or cloud services, is never down. Disaster recovery: Big business can afford additional IT resources for disaster management, but this is an additional expense for SMBs because IT resources used for disaster management are left empty, as they will be used only at the time of that disaster. Cloud SMBs provide a low cost and safe disaster recovery mechanism. Environmental compatibility: Cloud conserves energy and provides efficient technical solutions to the business by emitting less carbon percentage than efficient use of resources resulting in Green Computing. Incentives to new experiments: For a developer, or a tester or IT engineer, it gives scope to test your experiments easily with the cloud -harmless live environment and these cloud test infrastructure which will be changed frequently according to testing. It can be very economical compared to the change in the real environment. It can be clearly stated that the Internet of Things has dominated in many different areas and is to be formally recognized [6]. The IoT potential application areas which played a vital role and gained increasing attentions includes smart cities (smart zones), smart cars, smart houses, smart health, smart industries, public safety, energy and environmental protection, agriculture and tourism [7]. Most of the governments in Europe, America, and Asia considered the Internet of Things as an example and a symbol of innovation and growth [8]. Although great actors still do not recognize some potential of its software applications, many have given up or even invented and created new conditions for the Internet of Things and are adding additional components to it [9]. Furthermore, today, end users an
