| Abstract |
Smart City applications are addressed to city authorities, infrastructure and utilities managers, and city stakeholders wishing to use smart city solutions in order to increase the competitiveness, cohesion, and sustainability of the city. Facing with these massive, distributed, heterogeneous and complex state data, conventional data storage and management will encounter great difficulties. Conventional infrastructure uses centralized approach, expensive large-scale server, disk array storage hardware and relational database management system; which leads to poor system scalability, higher costs, and essentially, is difficult to adapt to the requirement of higher reliability on real-time state data of the smart city applications. Accurate, fast, open, shared information system is the basis for the smart city applications. In this paper, we proposed a scalable distributed cloud data storage and management platform which provides reliable data storage and management of the vast amount of information in the smart city. |
