CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTIONTitle: “Implementation of Internet of things (IOT) in data centre management”1.1 Study background Data centre is defined as the interconnected network of computer servers which is usedfor storing, processing and managing organisational data. Data centre management (DCM) refersto the management process within a data centre so that IT and other related technical issues canbe resolved. To overcome the functional errors and barriers DCM operations manages andregulate the server and computers functions, amount of data flow, applications and the securityconsiderations of the data (Ben-Daya, Hassini and Bahroun, 2017). Along with the managementof data set DCM also upgrade the systems and software and conducts the backup processes,technical assistance and emergency planning for the protection and accurate data handling.However, DCM suffers from several difficulties and performance issues (Aazam and Huh,2015). For instance, since these systems consist of various operating systems and equipment datacentre managers are required to maintain multiple number of vendors, contractors, upgradeprocesses and licenses. 1Illustration 1: Internet of things
(Source: 7 Ways To Secure The Internet of Things (IoT) In Your Enterprise, 2018)The data security breaches have been one of the major concern for the organisations andthe service providers. DCM are very crucial in data protection and elimination of the datasecurity breaches. IOT is known as the interrelated system connecting various computingdevices, people and digital machines so that data can be easily exchanged over the network. IOTservices use IP address for establishing internet connectivity and to allow communicationbetween internet related systems and devices. With more and more organisations are providing services globally secure datamanagement and sharing has became an important part of the business process (Zeng and et.al.,2017). One of the characteristic feature of IOT is that it does not require human interaction forthe exchange of data. Thus, the operational activities can be made more automated, quick andsecure. There are several advantages which makes IOT highly beneficial for the business andconsumer perspective. For instance, the IOT is very helpful in monitoring business process andto enhance customers experience. It also enhances productivity and efficiency of the businessoperations. The integration of IOT with DCM reduces the human oversight in the managementprocess of data. It becomes beneficial and significant for the companies which are operatingglobally. This integration allows the users of the organisation to access the data from the remotelocation as well. These applications can be employed in the variety of industries such astelecommunication, health care, retail and information technology. Cost saving has been of theprimary advantage of the DCM with IOT (Wang and Ranjan, 2015). The use of internetincreases the automation in the processing so that manual handling can be reduced and businesscan grow without any need of space allocation for the servers or operating system. 1.2 Aim To implement Internet of things (IOT) in data centre management. 1.3 Research objectives To understand the concept of data centre management. To evaluate the benefits and risks of IOT implementation. To apply and analyse the impact of IOT on data centre 1.4 Research questions What is the data centre management and IOT concept? 2
What are the benefits and risk of implementing IOT on data centre management? How to implement IOT? 1.5 Rationale IOT enable individuals to connect various web enabled devices with each others so thateach and every device or physical object can communicate or interact with each other. It hasbeen analysed that the IOT has significantly affected the data centres. With the increasing datathere is need to analyse and determine the storage space which can store huge data volumes. As aresult, there is need of developing new data centres or the improvements in existing storagecapacity (Pflaum and Gölzer, 2018). Thus, it is necessary to evaluate the data centreimplementation through IOT. The large amount of data flow is supported by the architecture ofdata centres. However, for the effective management it is effective and important to reverse thistrend by using IOT. When data centres are designed with the IOT then, its inbound data bandwidth isnaturally increased and huge data is also transmitted easily in the form of small data packets.Another reason for choosing this subject is the concept of the latest information security threats.As the number of users are increasing and technology is getting advanced day by daycyberattacks and other networking threats have become the prime concern for the service users(Ben-Daya, Hassini and Bahroun, 2017). Thus, it is very essential to understand the possiblelimitations and benefits of the IOT implementation so that data centre security can be enhanced. In order to understand the methods to ensure high level of security in data transmissionand storage it is vital to have detailed understanding of the IOT concept and their impact on thedata centre. The IOT also has its impact on controlling the data traffic. For instance, at presentmost of the service users and providers prefers single location data centre. It enhances costefficiency (Akhbar and et.al., 2016). However, with the rapid increase in the IOT data it willbecome less feasible for the data centres to share or store all data at a single centraliseddestination. Thus, for resolving this aspect localised centres will be required so that traffic loadcan be understood and managed. To understand these considerations this study is executed sothat an in-depth understanding can be gained regarding impact and changes introduced by theIOT. Another critical challenge identified with the increasing role of IOT in business androutine activities is that since volume of IOT data is too large it cannot be stored completely.3
Thus, the study will help data centre providers and service users to understand and evaluate theefficient ways which can perform the real time based sorting of data for the identification of andprocessing of valuable data. Thus, the use of IOT may lower the processing power and networkbandwidth used by the data centres. Hence, it is essential to analyse this reduction in the cost andperformance efficiency and how data centres owners can overcome this challenge. The study willprove to be an effective measure to address the cost and efficiency related challenges imposed bythe IOT along with the huge benefits of data storage and management. The research will helpreaders and other researchers to understand the existing challenges and benefits of IOT in datacentres. Thus, they will be able to develop better insight and understanding of the data centremanagement and data security. 1.6 Research scopeThe IOT has introduced sea changes in the data processing methods. The study analysesthe various pathways which can influence the security and traffic of data centre by IOT devices.It will also evaluate the major issues such as operational efficiency, data security andconnectivity. The data is provided to data centres by various IOT devices and the implementationof IOT within data centres must be managed so that the quality issues can be overcome(Jayaraman and et.al., 2017). The report also describes the connection between remote dataassets and how these assets link the data centre management. The study is not limited to only assessing the benefits and impact IOT but alsodemonstrate the improved capabilities of the data processing and management centres byemphasising on functionality, status and location. Due to huge benefits of the IOT systems theirparticipation in the business and analysis process has been growing continuously and rapidly.However, in the view of these huge benefits one cannot neglect the challenge of processing hugeIOT data in real time. This study can highlight and resolve this issues by explaining theinteraction between IOT and data centres. The ignorance to the impact on data centres can putthe business security and efficiency at risk (Jaiswal and Gupta, 2017). The study outcomes canbe used by the data centre operators for deploying the future prediction based capacitymanagement in the business areas which are in alignment with the IOT based applications. A poorly security based IOT will lead to the data centre operations in trouble thus it issafe to analyse the possible implications of the IOT on data centres. The usual techniques of thedata encryption used by the data centre manager may not be sufficient for the bulk data of IOT.4
Hence, the study analysis can be applied to determine and evaluate the effectiveness of thefirewalls, segregating devices and multilayer defence techniques which can provide security tothe data. The study is also significant in explaining the communication of IOT devices so that thecloud or the application based security can be managed. The IOT has the ability to transform the functions of data centres, technology, consumerinteraction and business models using data services (Levy and Hallstrom, 2017). The remoteaccess services and transfer of data stream between the source and central management systemprovides the effective way to process the business information. 1.7 Project target audienceThe project may be subject of interest for the business organisations who desires toimprove the security and performance of their data centres. The researchers may also haveinterest in this study as research outcomes can help them to draw more improved perceptionsregarding IOT implementation. 1.8 Research report outline The chapter has been divided into several chapters. The first chapter will provide a shortintroduction of the data centres and use of IOT. In the next chapter different literature sources areused to understand the existing knowledge regarding topic. Chapter three discuss the researchmethods such as data collection, approach, sampling and data analysis which are used forexecuting the research. The chapter four will present the data analysis so that findings can beinterpreted. The last chapter of the study provides relevant conclusions and recommendationsobtained from the study. 5
