Big Data
Big data is now omnipresent. Big Data information management requires companies towork with robust platforms, innovative technologies, extensive data exploration, visualization and high powered analytics. No doubt, the promise of value is huge, that is the reason business after business is showing interest in working with Big Data to gain insights and realize value. Mobility, Cloud, IoT (internet of things) only add to this paradigm called Big Data.
One of the instigators for using Big Data technologies is "volume" of data. As we are seeing in our everyday lives, this is and will be growing exponentially. This includes data at rest and data in motion that is real time data streaming in from variety of sources, social media to machine sensors. And, more and more value needs to be extracted from this huge piles of data.New devices fitted in cars to robots performing operations, sensors, engines, new machinery, all generate continuous data.
Consider video monitoring systems on bridges, roads and public places. Data is streaming fast, a security alert has to be quick if any suspicious package is encountered in the streaming videos. But to be effective, this analysis must happen as rapidly as the video data enters the system. In this case, velocity pertains not only to how quickly data is generated, but also to how quickly someone interprets and acts upon it.
The biggest challenge is variety of data, that too both structured as well as unstructured data, with about 75 per cent of data being unstructured, which is more difficult to handle, coming in from a variety of data sources, such as text, sensor data, audio, video, click streams, log files and more.We used to store data from sources like spreadsheets and databases. Now data comes in all forms emails, PDFs, photos, videos, machines, devices, etc. The variety of unstructured data also creates problems in integrating and storage. But needless to say there is great deal of value in this data. Businesses are starting to see this value and vendors are stepping up with various tools and technology to capture this unstructured data, mine and analyze.
This inundation of “BIG” data is to be captured, cleansed, stored and analyzed. Businesses which are not planning to do this are going to be left out of the competition.
