Nowadays the information is available on large scale, spatial and temporal barriers have been surpassed and the limits in data storage volume are constantly being pushed further. The biggest confrontation with huge amounts of data is specific to search engines. One of the most important data sources today is originated in social media sites and mobile communications which, among data from business environments and institutions, lead to the definition of a new concept, known today as Big Data. The paper aims at discussing aspects regarding the evolution of two technologies (Big Data and Cloud Computing) and their fusion. Also, we have concentrated our efforts around the principles to achieve, organize and access huge datasets in Cloud environment, offering a 3-step system architecture, based on actual software solutions.
