INTEGRATION OF CLOUD COMPUTING AND INTERNET OF THINGS
2.2 Challenges or Future Work in Integration of Internet of Things and Cloud
Computing
2.2.1 Challenges in Integration of Internet of Things and Cloud Computing
Although, the proper integration of internet of things and cloud computing eventually
bring some of the major and the most significant advantages to organizations like reducing
data management complexity, integration of business processes, flexibility in capacity, cost
effectiveness, automated updates on software and many more; there are few challenges that
could be extremely problematic for the users or businesses (Neagu et al., 2017). The most
important and noteworthy challenges of the technology of Cloud based IoT are given below:
i) Lack of Trust: This is the first and the most significant challenge in Cloud based
IoT technology that should be eradicated on time. The corporate systems have a major scope
of getting bombarded by sensitive data from any kind of connected sensor within this specific
technology and thus it is often observed that the data is lost and client loses his trust on
application of technology (Dinh et al., 2013). For this particular purpose, it is highly required
to maintain security features within the respective design of devices and every system would
be made for creating trust.
ii) Lack of Data Integrity: The second vital and noteworthy challenge in the
integration of internet of things and cloud computing technologies is lack of data integrity.
Although, data transfer is being done in a safe and secured manner, it is often analysed that
data loses its confidentiality and integrity (Arora, Parashar & Transforming, 2013). Due to
this issue, the organization loses their data confidentiality and issues are being faced.
iii) Delivering Value to Customers: The users often face issue while delivering
subsequent value to the customers. The solution of Cloud based IoT technology provide
better impact on the efficiency, productivity and customer satisfaction and hence this entire

8
INTEGRATION OF CLOUD COMPUTING AND INTERNET OF THINGS
cycle requires better retrospection. It is considered as one of the most significant challenge in
implementation of Cloud based IoT and also to understand customer issues (Al-Fuqaha et al.,
2015). To resolve this issue, it is extremely important to identify several organizational key
performance indicators for measuring and improving through such technological solution.
iv) Compatibility Issues in Hardware: Another significant and important issue that is
quite common for integration of cloud and IoT can be referred to as the compatibility issue in
hardware (Hashem et al., 2015). Data capturing mainly occurs via several PLCs and sensors
that are being connected to gateways of IoT for effective collection and transmission of
sensitive business data to the cloud. Organizations majorly require to recognize the existing
legacy machine and hardware on the basis of business outcomes and goals. As soon as these
legacy machines, which do not comprise of the required sensors and PLCs are being
involved, this particular issue of technology implementation becomes much more
problematic (Lee & Lee, 2015). Thus, proper identification of all physical devices as well as
understanding of associated compatibility issues is extremely important for the respective
users.
v) Issues in Connectivity of Data: Data connectivity issue is yet another vital and
significant issue that is needed to be eliminated within time for maintaining better
effectiveness and efficiency (Chiang & Zhang, 2016). There are some of the major areas, in
which data connectivity is one of the major challenges in Cloud based IoT technology. It
even includes process of devices of internet of things being connected to the cloud and
generating subsequent data format. Maximum gateways of IoT that are available are
compatible with Wi Fi and global positioning system, however the legacy devices are
completely dependent on telemetry systems, RTUs and PLCs for data generation (Kelly,
Suryadevara & Mukhopadhyay, 2013). Therefore, there is always an urgent need of suitable
edge layer, which could easily and promptly translate the data format protocol and transport

9
INTEGRATION OF CLOUD COMPUTING AND INTERNET OF THINGS
protocol for sending data to respective platform of internet of things and cloud (Forkan,
Khalil & Tari, 2014). A proper combination of such protocols is mandatory for effective
results.
vi) Incorrect Data Capturing Capabilities: The sixth vital issue that is quite common
for integration of IoT and cloud computing is incorrect data capturing capabilities. When the
software becomes unable in handling some of the major anomalies in running time for
recording incorrect data (Centenaro et al., 2016). It eventually results in inappropriate
analytics, which might lead to improper decision making and this challenge could bring
major complexities in decision making process.
vii) Challenges in Analytics: The challenge in analytics is one of the most significant
issue that is extremely common after integrating IoT and cloud. The original value of this
technological solution is being realized after considering the actionable insights that are being
derived from collected IoT data (Biswas & Giaffreda, 2014). Time should be left for adding
predictive and real time analytics to IoT solution for resolving such significant issues.
viii) Lack of Scalability: The lack of scalability and flexibility is the next important
issue that is needed to be mitigated on time (Aazam & Huh, 2016). Due to such issue, Cloud
based IoT often becomes a major failure in producing consistently low rate traffic over a
larger scale and hence testing becomes extremely difficult.
2.2.2 Future Work in Integration of Internet of Things and Cloud Computing
It is highly expected that future work of the integration of cloud and IoT would be
eliminating each and every above mentioned issue or challenge (Fernando, Loke & Rahayu,
2013). Cloud services are being sold on demand and provides users with the core capability
of little service, at provided time and resources. Major innovations within distributed
computing and virtualization allows improved access to the high speed Internet connection

10
INTEGRATION OF CLOUD COMPUTING AND INTERNET OF THINGS
and hence it becomes quite easy to use cloud computing technology. IoT has been evolved
from the convergence of few wireless technologies, Internet and micro services (Botta et al.,
2016).
This type of convergence provides emergence within information technology and
operational technology by enabling the unstructured machine generated information for being
analysed to drive improvement. Most of the organizations majorly utilize this particular
technology in operating more efficiently so that customer services are enhanced and decision
making process is improved to a high level, thus business value is increased. After integrating
with Internet of Things, it is being analysed that daily tasks are being transformed and the
data is uncontended so that confidential data does not lose confidentiality and integrity at any
circumstance (Munir, Kansakar & Khan, 2017). IoT and cloud computing majorly serve for
increment of efficiency in regular tasks after having a complementary relationship.
Few significant expectations on future work for such integration of two distinctive
technologies are provided below:
i) Facilitation of DDoS Attacks: The first expectation of such integration of IoT and
cloud is facilitation of DDoS attacks. In future, it is predicted that a strain of malicious
software, which could easily infect every connected device like security camera and DVR
(Hwang & Chen, 2017). Such malware could turn these affected devices into botnet for
facilitation of DDoS attacks and hence maintaining balance on internet traffic.
ii) Cloud Based Smart Cities: Cities and organizations would increasingly adopt the
smart technologies for saving resources of expenses and time. According to (Lea, &
Blackstock, 2014)Cloud based smart cities would be able to automate, control as well as
collect data via certain applications like taxis, video camera surveillance system and visitor
kiosk.

11
INTEGRATION OF CLOUD COMPUTING AND INTERNET OF THINGS
iii) Secured and Smarter Routers: This is the third important and significant
prediction of future work after integration of IoT and cloud computing (He, Yan & Da Xu,
2014). Most of the consumer based IoT devices eventually reside without security. With the
help of a cloud based IoT platform, it would be highly protected and secured. Moreover, the
router is the most important or vital entry point of Internet into home and when any of the
connected device would not be protected, this router would have the core capability of
providing higher protection at the entry points (Kaur & Maheshwari, 2016). The respective
conventional router can easily provide high security like firewalls and password protection
and hence having the significant capability of configuring them in allowing subsequent
devices on the network.
iv) 5G Networks: This is yet another vital and noteworthy expectation in future work
of cloud based IoT platform technology. This particular fifth generation cellular wireless
network would provide high speed and core capability of getting connected to the maximum
smart device at same time (Tao et al., 2014). Due to the involvement of cloud computing,
data security would be highly enhanced without much complexities and issues. Hence, it
would be termed as the most effective technologies in near future.
2.3 Current Industry Trends
Some current industry trends which are effected by the integration of cloud computing
and internet are discussed in the following paragraphs
2.3.1 Healthcare Industries
The rapid development in computer science technology opened new scope for the
development of various electronic devices and wearable with various sensors. The
combination of IoT and Cloud computing have a huge impact on the development of those
devices and sensors. The devices or sensors which are made by utilizing the Cloud based IoT

12
INTEGRATION OF CLOUD COMPUTING AND INTERNET OF THINGS
application are majorly used in the field of medical science (Catarinucci et al., 2015). The
healthcare industries which includes hospitals and others have their own database system for
keeping track of the patients and doctors. The system of hospital management and intelligent
medicine control in the field of medical field is effectively controlled by the CloudIot. The
smart wearable technologies developed through the combination of Cloud computing and IoT
have a huge impact of healthcare industries (Hassanalieragh et al., 2015). Health IoT
platforms enhanced medical service by decreasing the cost. Accurate information about the
body temperature, eco-cardiograms, sugar level of patients can be easily extracted by various
sensors and devices which are made by integrating the Cloud computing with IoT.
2.3.2 Smart Home and Smart City Projects
Cloud computing based IoT applications helped to enable the automation
system of the smart houses and smart cities. The automation of in-house activities like
security system, smart system for saving energy are done by the embedded system. The
embedded system which are used for automation of various activities in the smart house and
smart cities are developed by the Cloud based IoT application which makes the smart house
very comfortable with Ambient Assisted Living System (Forkan, Khalil & Tari, 2014). Smart
communication system required for smart homes and smart cities are planned using the
CloudIoT software. The data of the infrastructure can also be attained using Cloud based IoT
application (Arasteh et al., 2016). The streetlights, smart traffic system of the smart city can
be controlled very swiftly using the software of CloudIot.
Smart Home and Smart City also have the maximum security which is achieved by
various surveillance devices. Surveillance used for security purpose are done by the
CloudIoT applications (Amin et al., 2016). The process of image capturing and processing
are embraced by the Cloud based IoT. The video sensors which are engaged with the
management, storage and processing of the video content is mainly controlled by CloudIoT.

13
INTEGRATION OF CLOUD COMPUTING AND INTERNET OF THINGS
The Cloud based IoT applications has become one of the main tools for security and
surveillance applications.
2.3.3 Smart Mobility and Automobile Industry
The smart automation system of the car requires the CloudIoT system. The
driverless car is not a hypothetical concept anymore (TongKe, 2013). The advancement in
computer science technology turned the concept of driverless car into reality. The system of
the driverless car will require GPS (Global Positioning System) for proper functioning of the
car along with some correct analysis of data (Atif, Ding & Jeusfeld, 2016).). The mechanical
system of the car will be same as any other car but the steering of the car will be controlled
through software.
Cloud computing and IoT is used for production of cars in automobile industries. The
robots and machines used for production of the automobiles are controlled by the software of
Cloud computing and IoT. The precision of the machineries under the command of human
was not that much, but the software based machineries does not need to be controlled by
humans. Modern industries prefer these software based machines for achieving maximum
accuracy.
2.3.4 Smart Energy
The energy crisis in today’s world is a huge problem. The wide use of fossil fuel in
the last century fatigued the natural resource of fossil fuel, thus the other sources of energy
was required (Pan et al., 2015). The renewable source of energy like solar energy, tidal
energy and wind energy was found as an alternative source of the non-renewable energy.
The tools for extracting the renewable energies from their source are controlled by
the software of CloudIoT. Data which are required for working of the machines are generally
stored in the database system. Power plant for the renewable energy sources have complex

14
INTEGRATION OF CLOUD COMPUTING AND INTERNET OF THINGS
machineries and they have to be controlled with the control system and embedded system
(Babu, Lakshmi, & Rao, 2015). The software of these systems are controlled with the Cloud
computing based IoT.
3. Business Case Study for addressing Day to Day Business Challenges
The business case study that is addressed in this section of the report deals with the
issues regarding the IoT devices at the organization of Deloitte (Deloitte, 2019). The

developers.
iii) The IoT components does not define the Logging as well as the audit standards that
decreases the potential performance of the stated organization.
iv) Restricted form of the user interfaces regarding the IoT devices needs security
regarding the applications as well as devices.
Secondly, the security part is a serious concern regarding the IoT devices present within
the organizational structure of Deloitte. The security vulnerabilities needs to be critically
assessed so that in future there might not occur any disruptions in the business. The security
functionalities remains in the focus thus enhancing the effective growth of the organization.

15
INTEGRATION OF CLOUD COMPUTING AND INTERNET OF THINGS
Lastly, the connectivity issues regarding the devices present within the organization is
also said to be a biggest challenge in the future of IoT. This in case will defy the
organizational structure of the overall communication models embedded within the
organization. The peer-to-peer communications in the organization is needed with the
connectivity issues regarding the organization of Deloitte.
3. Conclusion
