Introduction:

“The growth of data is never ending.” Today: Data consumed in 30 seconds=40 Petabytes. In 2015: Data consumed in 30 seconds=120 Petabytes. (approx. thrice)

What is Big Data?

Big Data is a term used for managing large amount of datasets which is difficult to be managed by on-hand database management tools or traditional data processing applications.

Basically, Big Data is considered as a technology, but rather it is a phenomenon which represents a challenge in utilizing this volume of data, and also an opportunity for organizations who seek to ameliorate their effectiveness. 

Characteristics of Big Data:

Three v’s of Big data:

Volume- Amount of data

Variety- Speed rate in collecting or acquiring or generating or processing of data

Velocity- Different data type such as audio, video, image data (mostly unstructured data)

Importance of Big Data:

Government➢ In 2012, the Obama administration announced the Big

Data Research and Development Initiative.

➢ 84 different big data programs spread across six departmentsPrivate Sector➢ Walmart handles more than 1 million customer transactions every

hour, which is imported into databases estimated to contain more than2.5 petabytes of data.

➢ Facebook handles 40 billion photos from its user base.

PHASES OF BIG DATA7

A. Data Accession and Recording.

B. Information Pulling and Filtering.

C. Data Integration, Amalgamation, and Representation.

D. Query Processing, Data Modeling, and Analysis.

E. Data Elucidation and Interpretation.

CHALLENGES IN ANALYSIS OF BIG DATA

● Heterogeneity, Diversity and Incompleteness.● Scalability● Timeliness ● Privacy ● Human collaboration

Technology Players:

Oracle -Exadata

Microsoft -HD Insight Server

IBM -Netezza

Big Data opportunities:

● Drive incremental revenue● Predict customer behavior across all channels● Understand and monetize customer behavior

● Improve operational effectiveness● Machines/sensors: predict failures, network attacks● Financial risk management: reduce fraud, increase security

● Reduce data warehouse cost● Integrate new data sources without increased database cost● Provide online access to ‘dark data’

Other Aspects of Big Data:

A. Automating Research Changes the Definition of Knowledge

B. Claim to Objectively and Accuracy are Misleading

C. Bigger Data are not always Better data

D. Not all Data are equivalent

E. Just because it is accessible doesn’t make it ethical

F. Limited access to big data creatrs new digital divides

Six Provocations for Big Data

Other Aspects of Big Data:

Five Big Question about big Data:

1- What happens in a world of radical transparency, with data widely available?

2- If you could test all your decisions, how would that change the way you compete?

3- How would your business change if you used big data for widespread, real time customization?

4- How can big data augment or even replace Management?

5-Could you create a new business model based on data?
