Big Data Defined
Learn to define Big Data by understanding its key characteristics such as volume, velocity, and variety, along with additional aspects like veracity and value. This lesson helps you grasp why traditional data software falls short and why scalable architectures are essential for processing and analyzing massive, diverse data sets.
We'll cover the following...
Big Data Defined
How can we identify Big Data? Is it 1 gigabytes, 10 terabytes or a 1000 petabytes? With each passing year as the processing and storing capacity of hardware improves, we can process bigger and bigger data sizes. We can’t say that any size greater than a number constitutes Big Data. Big Data is the exponential increase and availability of data in our world. More formally, Big Data is defined as data with greater variety arriving in increasing volumes and with ever higher velocity and requires a scalable architecture for efficient storage, manipulation, and analysis. These properties are also known as the three Vs. These ...
