Looking strictly at the video rental industry, Netflix faces minimal internal rivalry because the industry is dominated by only a handful of firm in Europe, namely Blockbuster. Although Netflix faces little internal rivalry in its immediate industry, the company faces an intensely competitive broader market. Since home entertainment covers a broad spectrum of technologies and channels of distribution, Netflix is in direct competition with firms in a number of other industries including cable networks, who air movies on television, satellite companies’ VOD services, and websites like Hulu, which provide video content through online streaming. Furthermore, as people transition from consumption of physical DVDs to

This project will discuss in details the motivations that drive Netflix to adopt cloud-computing technologies, and how cloud-computing technologies have affected the business purpose of Netflix? And finally what the challenges and solutions that are facing Netflix?

When it comes to video content, students have the choice between a cable subscription and various online streaming companies. As the demand for video content grows, alternatives to cable subscriptions have become more popular, like online streaming. Online streaming can be accessed three different ways: via cable providers (i.e. Verizon Fios), through online video streaming subscriptions (i.e. Netflix), or for free (i.e. piracy). In this report, the focus of online video streaming will be on subscription services. This means that the video content is only available through a paid subscription. The choice to subscribe to a paid online streaming service can be influenced by many factors.

clients who utilize such live streaming administration needs to be spontaneous. The distributed computing innovation has activated tremendous open doors to encourage the versatile live streaming of the media substance with a stretched out backing to interface with the clients. The nature of administration (QOS), stockpiling and imparting are a portion of the issues that must be tended to with a specific end goal to give a versatile social TV in a the earth. The cloud engineering viably handles some of these issues by relegating substitutes for the

Cloud because of its wide range of applications it allows users to store data their data remotely in the cloud and enjoy the on-demand high quality cloud applications and reveal burden from the local storage, cost and maintenance. In this according to the user’s perspective, including both individuals (private) and enterprises like companies appealing the cloud benefits by storing data remotely into the cloud in a flexible on-demand manner and relief of the burden of storage management along with this he/she can also enjoy the universal data access which dependent geographical locations and avoidance of the capital expenditure, software, hardware and personnel management and maintenances and so on.

Also, network performance is very critical in cloud computing. So there are many methods can be used to improve network performance:

There are two ways of providing quality of service for multimedia first, adding quality of service to current cloud computing infrastructure, and second, adding quality of service between cloud and multimedia infrastructures. In former, It focus on adding quality of service in only on cloud infrastructure In later case, It focuses on adding quality of service between cloud infrastructure and multimedia infrastructure. In this research we focusing on how cloud can provide quality of service with help of multimedia applications. According to the properties of multimedia services, similar types of multimedia services is processed through cluster servers. Each Media edge cloud is having three clusters such as Storage, central processing unit, graphical process unit (GPU). All media related applications will be processed by GPU. Storage types of media applications will be processed through storage cluster. To improve the performance of media cloud, cloud proxy is proposed to reduce latency. The mobile media proxy is designed to deal with mobile multimedia computing. Mobile caching is included to process the mobile applications because, Mobile applications need to perform with minimum number of resources. (Cybenko, G, 1989)

Globally, people are increasingly accessing content as easier access to information continues to explode rapidly. People not only access content (be it text, audio, still images, animation, video or interactivity content forms) but are themselves the producers of more and more digital data and with this comes a host of problems like content management, content reuse based on consumer and device capabilities, protection of rights and from unauthorised access or modification, privacy protection of both providers and consumers, etc [1] [2].

Enhancing a cloud based network could mean to make the network faster, safer, efficient, cost-effective and user friendly. The aim of this report is to discuss the methods and techniques of trying to improve a cloud based network and what this could mean.

The website or application will take into fetch the user bandwidth information and figure out the format and the resolution most appropriate for them and feed it back cloud to bucket from where application or website will fetch it and stream it to user to enjoy.

Cloud –Based Energy Efficient Offloading Transcoding Service Policy Vaishali Y. Baviskar, Snehal Mandlik, Supriya Patil,Pallavi Sinha,Pooja Gopale Department of Computer Engineering, Savitribai Phule Pune University G.H.R.I.E.T., Wagholi , Pune,India Abstract- With the increasing variety of mobile applications, reducing the energy utilization of mobile devices is a major challenge in multimedia streaming applications. In this paper we investigate energy-efficient offloading policy for transcoding as a service in a generic mobile cloud system. we explores how to minimize the energy consumption of the backlight when displaying a video stream without adversely impacting the user’s visual experience.

In the world of technical life cloud computing has become integral part and also understanding the way of business is changing and is likely to continue changing into the future. Using cloud storage services means that you and others can access and share files across a range of devices and position. Files such as photos and videos can sometimes be unmanageable to email if they are too big or you have allot of data. You can upload your data to a cloud storage provider means you can speedily circulate your data with the help of cloud service and you can share your data files with anyone you choose. Since cloud computing shares distributed resources via network in the open environment thus it makes less secured. Data security has become a major issue in data sharing on cloud. The main motto behind our system is that it secures the data and generates the key for each transaction so every user can secure our shared data by the third party i.e. unethical hacker.

In recent times Quality of Service has emerged as one of the important topics for research. QoS can be defined as the all round performance of a computer network. Any network is expected to provide secure and reliable service. QoS helps provide better service and this can be made possible either by increasing the priority of a flow or by decreasing the priority of another flow and this flow can be managed by using congestion management mechanisms. If a network capacity is insufficient then the QoS becomes an important factor, for example for real time streaming multimedia applications like Skype, online games, youtube etc., as in such applications if the delay is too much then the purpose of the application will not be served. The factors that influence Quality of Service are:

The growth of the internet has had a positive effect on various aspects of human activities ranging from professional life to social life. More people are having access to the internet with time and the products and services offered through the internet are increasing. Online streaming is one of the services that have experienced a surge because of improved quality and access to the internet. Online video streaming from paid or free online channels are very popular among individuals, and they hold major entertainment promise. This can be justified by the varied nature of content that is streamed by internet users spread across the world. For instance, there is a wide range of the type of videos streamed
