A comparative analysis of cloud based services platform

Data processing at high speeds and storage solutions on a massive scale are two things that are becoming increasingly important as a result of the proliferation of new start-up companies and the vast volume of data that users consume daily. The cloud platforms offer a solution to these issues in the shape of virtualization, which entails the creation of several distinct virtual machines within a single actual system. Because of this, the efficiency of the processor increases, and it now has far less downtime. The four major cloud platforms are discussed, and each has its own set of benefits, which helps make them successful in their unique conducts. Although Amazon EC2 is one of the most used and earliest that offers assistance for the utmost numeral of already configured system software termed as operating systems, which falls short in terms of both its scope and the support that it makes available. In a similar vein, the Google Cloud Platform can support the greatest number of databases and has an excellent repository of in-built libraries. The Microsoft Azure has the greatest number of users out of four, however, it is badly lacking in the database supports it offers. IBM Watson offers user friendly services but has scalability issues. As a result, a conclusion has been reached, that the selecting a particular cloud platform, there is extreme dependence on the needs of the users. These requirements may vary from client to client which are the end-users of the applications. Before deciding on a particular platform, it is best to conduct a thorough analysis of the needs.
