purposes. The rapid growth of cloud computing has exempted many companies and institutions from the burden of
maintaining expensive hardware and software infrastructure. With characteristics like high scalability, availability
and fault tolerance, cloud computing meet the new era needs for massive data processing at an affordable cost. In
