INTRODUCTION

 Big Data is a collection of data that is huge in volume, yet growing

exponentially with time.

 it is a data with so large size and complexity that none of traditional data

management tools can store it or process it efficiently.

Big data is also a data but with huge size.

a large volume of data, which are both structured and unstructured.

 it increased day to day by any system or business

is collection of data sets large and complex to process using on-hand

database management tools or traditional data processing application.

 Structured: Any data that can be stored, accessed and processed in the

form of fixed format is termed as a ‘structured’ data.

Unstructured: Any data with unknown form or the structure is classified as

unstructured data.

Semi-structured: Semi-structured data can contain both the forms of data.


Volume: Organizations and firms gather as well as pull together

different data from different sources so this loads our volume so we

can handle by using technology like Apache spark.

Velocity: Data is now streaming at an exceptional speed, which has

to be dealt with suitably.


Variety: The releases of data from various systems have diverse
 HOW IT WORKS

A big data architecture is designed to handle:-

Ingestion

 processing

 analysis of data that is too large or complex for traditional database systems.
 Advantage of big data

Businesses can utilize outside intelligence while taking decisions Access

to social data from search engines and sites like Facebook, twitter are

enabling organizations to fine tune their business strategies.

Improved customer service.

Early identification of risk to the product/services, if any.

Better operational efficiency.

Rapid Data Growth: The growth velocity at such a high rate creates a

problem to look for insights using it. There no 100% efficient way to filter

out relevant data.

Storage: The generation of such a massive amount of data needs space

for storage, and organizations face challenges to handle such extensive

data without suitable tools and technologies.

analyzed are totally (100%) accurate. Redundant data, contradicting data, or

incomplete data are challenges that remain within it.

Data Security: Firms and organizations storing such massive data (of users) can

be a target of cybercriminals, and there is a risk of data getting stolen. Hence,

encrypting such colossal data is also a challenge for firms and organizations.
 Application area of big data

Health care

to personalized medicine and prescriptive analytics due to the role of

big data systems.

To creating, advertising, and distributing their content using new

business models.

 the customer requirements to view digital content from any location

and at any time.

Customer use different media like Facebook, YouTube, telegram etc.…

IoT devices generate continuous data and send them to a server on a

daily basis.

These data are mined to provide the interconnectivity of devices.
