An extensive connectivity of

Cloud computing has set a trend in the information technology arena that has sparked the interest of all who utilize the internet on purpose and unsuspectingly. Initially, the primary purpose of cloud computing was to provide a centralized data bank that organizations could use for quick data access. Its use has been quickly adapted, however, beyond business use to become the first option for personal use. The advantages and disadvantages of implementing such a shift from business to personal are varied, yet, statistically, according to the CISCO Global Cloud Index: Forecast and Methodology, 2014-2019 White Paper, its public use is on the rise. The report notes that “by 2019, 56 percent of the cloud workloads will be in public cloud data centers, up from 30 percent in 2014 and by 2019, 44 percent of the cloud workloads will be in private cloud data centers, down from 70 percent in 2014”. Though disadvantages with regard to data security is prominent, users have deemed that its implementation will still promote greater benefits than loss.

Cloud because of its wide range of applications it allows users to store data their data remotely in the cloud and enjoy the on-demand high quality cloud applications and reveal burden from the local storage, cost and maintenance. In this according to the user’s perspective, including both individuals (private) and enterprises like companies appealing the cloud benefits by storing data remotely into the cloud in a flexible on-demand manner and relief of the burden of storage management along with this he/she can also enjoy the universal data access which dependent geographical locations and avoidance of the capital expenditure, software, hardware and personnel management and maintenances and so on.

This project will discuss in details the motivations that drive Netflix to adopt cloud-computing technologies, and how cloud-computing technologies have affected the business purpose of Netflix? And finally what the challenges and solutions that are facing Netflix?

Cloud computing can be understood as a multifaceted infrastructure of hardware, software, storage and processing available to be used as a service. With the use of cloud computing, without even knowing how it works, one can access a large number of the most sophisticated supercomputers of the world and their respective processing powers without being overwhelmed with space or information. Cloud computing allows access to computer networks located at various places in the world and thus offers the speed of

clients who utilize such live streaming administration needs to be spontaneous. The distributed computing innovation has activated tremendous open doors to encourage the versatile live streaming of the media substance with a stretched out backing to interface with the clients. The nature of administration (QOS), stockpiling and imparting are a portion of the issues that must be tended to with a specific end goal to give a versatile social TV in a the earth. The cloud engineering viably handles some of these issues by relegating substitutes for the

Looking strictly at the video rental industry, Netflix faces minimal internal rivalry because the industry is dominated by only a handful of firm in Europe, namely Blockbuster. Although Netflix faces little internal rivalry in its immediate industry, the company faces an intensely competitive broader market. Since home entertainment covers a broad spectrum of technologies and channels of distribution, Netflix is in direct competition with firms in a number of other industries including cable networks, who air movies on television, satellite companies’ VOD services, and websites like Hulu, which provide video content through online streaming. Furthermore, as people transition from consumption of physical DVDs to

When it comes to video content, students have the choice between a cable subscription and various online streaming companies. As the demand for video content grows, alternatives to cable subscriptions have become more popular, like online streaming. Online streaming can be accessed three different ways: via cable providers (i.e. Verizon Fios), through online video streaming subscriptions (i.e. Netflix), or for free (i.e. piracy). In this report, the focus of online video streaming will be on subscription services. This means that the video content is only available through a paid subscription. The choice to subscribe to a paid online streaming service can be influenced by many factors.

Also, network performance is very critical in cloud computing. So there are many methods can be used to improve network performance:

The website or application will take into fetch the user bandwidth information and figure out the format and the resolution most appropriate for them and feed it back cloud to bucket from where application or website will fetch it and stream it to user to enjoy.

The objective of the paper is to transcode the videos to different electronic devices using different technologies like Hadoop, HTTP, transcoding enabled caching via cloud computing and how to cache the space to make it available to clients, size,

The growth of the internet has had a positive effect on various aspects of human activities ranging from professional life to social life. More people are having access to the internet with time and the products and services offered through the internet are increasing. Online streaming is one of the services that have experienced a surge because of improved quality and access to the internet. Online video streaming from paid or free online channels are very popular among individuals, and they hold major entertainment promise. This can be justified by the varied nature of content that is streamed by internet users spread across the world. For instance, there is a wide range of the type of videos streamed

There are two ways of providing quality of service for multimedia first, adding quality of service to current cloud computing infrastructure, and second, adding quality of service between cloud and multimedia infrastructures. In former, It focus on adding quality of service in only on cloud infrastructure In later case, It focuses on adding quality of service between cloud infrastructure and multimedia infrastructure. In this research we focusing on how cloud can provide quality of service with help of multimedia applications. According to the properties of multimedia services, similar types of multimedia services is processed through cluster servers. Each Media edge cloud is having three clusters such as Storage, central processing unit, graphical process unit (GPU). All media related applications will be processed by GPU. Storage types of media applications will be processed through storage cluster. To improve the performance of media cloud, cloud proxy is proposed to reduce latency. The mobile media proxy is designed to deal with mobile multimedia computing. Mobile caching is included to process the mobile applications because, Mobile applications need to perform with minimum number of resources. (Cybenko, G, 1989)

Globally, people are increasingly accessing content as easier access to information continues to explode rapidly. People not only access content (be it text, audio, still images, animation, video or interactivity content forms) but are themselves the producers of more and more digital data and with this comes a host of problems like content management, content reuse based on consumer and device capabilities, protection of rights and from unauthorised access or modification, privacy protection of both providers and consumers, etc [1] [2].
