Study Notes

  • Big Data is defined by characteristics that start with the letter "V".
  • Big Data is more than just the size of the data.
  • Big Data by itself is worthless.
  • Big Data and analytics creates value.
  • Acquiring, storing and efficiently capturing Big Data presents significant challenges.
  • There is a necessity for new technologies and talent for big data.

The Vs That Define Big Data

  • Volume measures the amount of data.
  • Variety represents the different types of data.
  • Velocity refers to the speed at which data is generated and processed.
  • Veracity indicates the accuracy and reliability of data.
  • Variability reflects the consistency of the data.
  • Value signifies the inherent worth of the information derived from the data.
  • Hadron collider generates 1 PB/sec.
  • Boeing jet generates 20 TB/h.
  • Facebook generates 500 TB/day.
  • YouTube generates 1 TB/4 min.

When to Consider Big Data

  • Current platforms limitations restrict the amount of data that can be processed.
  • New data sources cannot be included(social media, RFID, Sensory, Web, GPS, textual data).
  • Data needs to be integrated quickly to be current in order to conduct analysis.
  • When flexibility in data storage is required.
  • Traditional analytics can not handle the speed at which large amounts of data is arriving.

Critical Success Factors for Big Data

  • Align business and IT strategy.
