An intelligent cloud computing architecture supporting e-Governance

The development of high speed Internet access, Web 2.0 applications and Virtualization techniques have made Cloud computing a leading edge technology. A user in `Cloud' runs web based application over Internet via browser with a look and feel of desktop program. Cloud computing provides dynamically scalable and virtualized resources as a service over the network at a nominal initial investment. Data-center works as backbone in Cloud computing where a large number of servers are networked to host computing & storage needs of the users. The area which needs more attention is Latency Optimization for cloud architecture to work as ubiquitous as expected. Many data intensive applications produce enormous amounts of data which travel on cloud network. As the cloud users grow, cloud architecture should accommodate movement of voluminous data to avoid data congestion in the network. In this paper, an intelligent & energy efficient Cloud computing architecture is proposed based on distributed data-centers to support application and data access from local data-center with minimum latencies. It was found that the proposed architecture is efficient for business entrepreneurs, suitable to apply for e-Governance and provides a green eco-friendly environment for Cloud computing.
