Implementation of cloud server for real time data storage using Raspberry Pi

Abstract

A private cloud server can be set up in a Raspberry Pi which could be used as a storage device for applications involving real time signals. Raspberry Pi is a cheaper microprocessor in which cloud computing infrastructure can be obtained using cloud platforms provided by specific cloud vendors. Real time signals acquired by any sensor that measures environmental factors are analog in nature. Using microcontrollers like Arduino or any analog to digital converters these analog signals can be discretized and transmitted serially to the Raspberry Pi. Hence Raspberry Pi can be used as a cloud server which serves as a storage device for real time applications.
