A Purdue University data science and machine learning innovator wants to help organizations and users get the most for their money when it comes to cloud-based databases.

The system is designed to help achieve cost and performance efficiency for cloud-hosted databases, rightsizing resources to benefit both the cloud vendors who do not have to aggressively over-provision their cloud-hosted servers for fail-safe operations and to the clients because the data center savings can be passed on them.

Chaterji said current cloud technologies using automated decision making often only work for short and repeat tasks and workloads.

"Our right-sizing approach is increasingly important with the myriad applications running on the cloud with the diversity of the data and the algorithms required to draw insights from the data and the consequent need to have heterogeneous servers that drastically vary in costs to analyze the data flows," Chaterji said.

Chaterji said OPTIMUSCLOUD has numerous applications for databases used in self-driving vehicles, healthcare repositories, and IoT infrastructures in farms or factories.
