A Survey on Big Data Storage in Cloud

In today's computing and digital world, generation and accessing of data information has been rapidly increased in several organization. Millions of people are generating huge amount of data for their need of organizations which is often referred as big data. Big Data is considered as a promising for increasing segment of IT industry and business applications includes namely health care, banking etc. Since the extent and volume of big data is large, the fixed amount of storage is not suitable for storing such dynamic generation of data. Earlier versions of technology used major storage devices such as solid-state devices, optical devices, magnetic tapes and magnetic disks. However these storage devices don't supports for dynamic data generation from various organizations. Therefore, recent technology uses cloud based storage and storage networking therewith improved data storage and mining techniques are needed to be incorporated and advanced for preserving this increased volume of data. This paper surveys various storage techniques used for storing large volume of generated data. This survey comprehensively analyses and classifies the several attributes of big data which generally includes characteristics, nature, rapid growth and volume. At last possible research directions for big data systems in near future are outlined.
