This data comes from many industries like climate information collects by the sensor, different stuff from social media sites, digital images and videos, different records of the purchase transaction. This data is big data
    Gartner – Big Data is the new Oil.
    IDC – Big Data market will be growing 7 times faster than the overall IT market.
    IBM – Big data is not just a technology – it’s a Business Strategy for capitalizing on information resources.
    IBM – Big Data is the biggest buzz word because technology makes it possible to analyze all available data.

Industries today are searching new and better ways to maintain their position and be prepared for the future. According to experts, Big Data analytics provides leaders a path to capture insights and ideas to stay ahead in the tough competition.

 Big Data DefinitionIn other words, big data gets generated in multi-terabyte quantities. It changes fast and comes in varieties of forms that are difficult to manage and process using RDBMS or other traditional technologies. Big Data solutions provide the tools, methodologies, and technologies that are used to capture, store, search & analyze the data in seconds to find relationships and insights for innovation and competitive gain that were previously unavailable.

80% of the data getting generated today is unstructured and cannot be handled by our traditional technologies. Earlier, an amount of data generated was not that high. We kept archiving the data as there was just need of historical analysis of data. But today data generation is in petabytes that it is not possible to archive the data again and again and retrieve it again when needed as data scientists need to play with data now and then for predictive analysis unlike historical as used to be done with traditional.
