Secondary Research

Secondary Research

Secondary research was the hard part for us as there was a huge amount of information available on the internet. We started our research and there were numerous articles on our topic which were advance level for us, So we had to spend most of our time to research the articles or journals which matched our level of understanding. I learned ample of new information while my group conducted the research such as:

•  How cloud computing works
•  How it is used by businesses 
•  What Organisation provide cloud computing services
•  How cloud computing is integrated in our daily life
•  Analysed statistics of how much data is stored 
•  Learned about the High tech systems that stores our data ( Database )

For this research our main goal was to achieve knowledge about the topic by other individuals. Secondly, We compared the primary research that my group and I did and highlighted the differences between our research and the data that the researcher has gathered. While doing the comparison there were lots of differences, We had the basic fundamental concept in our surveys and interviews and they had many individual concepts of each specific term to define or to make us understand how it works at the backend. It also included the specific data of different companies and service providers. We named this research as Market research in our presentation. All of the above mentioned points were disscussed in our presentation for example in the year 2025 it is predicted that there will be about 200 zetabytes of data stored on the cloud based systems mentioned in a report by Data attack surface.

At last, in our secondary research there was one more interesting sub topic which is the purpose of Cloud Computing: "Purpose of cloud computing in organizations". 

1. Analyzing data for research and development
2. Meeting spikes in demand on our website or internal systems
3. Processing and storing applications or other forms 

Although we were not able to include all of the researched information in our presentation but in my blog post I have discussed everything in detail of our research. We also took help from youtube videos to understand cloud computing with visual art and our overall experience was fascinating. We learned about the basic cloud computing in an easy way and I hope to achieve better results in my group presentation and blogs.
