Abstract

Big Data is created every day from various heterogeneous sources over the internet and is a challenging task in processing, handling and storing for major organization. To be dealt with, convergence of Cloud computing with Big data has played a vital role as a solution of cost effective, better flexibility with data security at a higher level. This creates an edge over traditional computing methods and delivered at a cheaper rate. This Chapter introduces Big data and its challenges in respect of traditional databases. In various other parts, we will discuss how convergence activities played a major role with Big data in finding a solution in Cloud computing platform for handling large volume, fast moving and ever increasing data in the internet along with its pros and cons of the system. Finally, future aspects of Big data with Cloud computing will be discussed.
