Performance Analysis of Cloud Databases Handling Social Networking Data

With the growing popularity of Social Networking, the need for storage and analysis of data generated by such applications has increased in leaps and bounds. With the advent of cloud computing tools that handle large amounts of data with ease, there is and increased usage of such tools to manage social networking data. However, usage of tools that can be employed for accessing and analyzing social networking data needs to be optimized. Performance of such tools largely depends on the nature of the database that is used in the back-end. This research illustrates that the choice of database decides to a large extent the performance of the tool and related application. This research will also bring in clarity on using social networking tools for specific purposes and the effect of MapReduce on various storage structures.
