Health care service, in order to improve the quality and reduce the cost of medical services, has welcomed the modern information and computing technology involved. In the past two decades, the modern medical equipment, as advanced the medical information acquisition and the produced big data can be analyzed to aid the decision makings. The medical professionals have appreciated the extensive employments of data storage, data management and communication which enhance the medical services. With the development of big data, supercomputing, virtualization, cloud computing are recently more available, moderate, and secure. For example, if wireless sensor networks are related, the information becomes available in the “cloud” from where it can be produced by a doctor and analyzed by an expert or even a computer. Nevertheless, the traditional cloud computing techniques cannot meet our daily increasing requirements and we can do more for the future and tailor the cloud computing for health care service.
