Concept of personal cloud

The article addresses the issue with personal data, which are existing in the mo­dern information technology ecosystem. Both users and companies are facing dozens of data-related problems for instance, data breaches, uncertainty about data ownership, exceeding the data collection rights by companies, inability to collect all data about oneself, security issues. Thus, a lot of gaps in the current approach are at glance. In order to this, the perspective of introducing a brand-new solution, which aims to change the whole paradigm of personal data usage, seems very attractive. Within the research, the concept of decision support system, data collection, storage and analysis processes are consi­dered. The analysis of the modern paradigm of work with personal data is carried out. The key issues faced by companies and users in terms of data collection, storage, analysis, and use are outlined. Based on the above problems, the need to change the approach to the implementation of data processing processes is outlined. The concept of personal cloud is introduced. The analysis of existing solutions and recent research is conducted. The steps of solving the existing problems are formulated within implemen­ting and introducing a personal cloud. The structure diagram of the decision support system based on cloud technologies is presented. The ability to implement this system with Google Cloud Platform tools is confirmed. The components of the system and options of their implementation by means and methods of the cloud platform are described. The advantages of development based on the cloud solution are presented. The positive and negative aspects of the personal decision support system are summarized and the factors that may impede the implementation of the concept of personal cloud in life are shown.

Keywords: decision support system, personal cloud, data analysis, personal data, cloud solution.
