Analyze and assess the performance degradation issues highlighted in the case study.

Read the paper, “How Will Astronomy Archives Survive the Data Tsunami?” Write a four to five (4-5) page paper in which you: 1. Analyze and assess the performance degradation issues highlighted in the case study. 2. Evaluate the archival techniques that are outlined in the study, such as cloud storage. Determine why they are not able to handle the growth of the archived data. 3. Evaluate the emerging technologies, such as clustering, discussed in the case study, which could be applied to the data archival problem. 4. Evaluate the proposed methods, such as GPUs (Graphics Processing Units), of reducing the potentially huge computational and financial costs resulting from archiving data
