Abstract
Due to its availability, cloud computing is the de facto platform of choice for Big Data, where Big Data as a Service is believed to be the next best thing. In this chapter we will first introduce cloud computing, defining the advantages it provides in a Big Data context. Similarly, we will then establish the benefits of using private clouds, before focusing on selected open source cloud environments, studying their architecture. We will constrain our scope to some of the most prominent ones, in particular in view of Big Data processing. We will then establish how some Big Data applications can greatly benefit from the use of accelerators, and how those accelerators can be integrated with private clouds. Finally, we will present a case study, using an On-Premise Private Cloud, to demonstrate the implementation of one such environment.
