What is Big Data?

The term Big Data refers to all the data that is being generated across the globe at an unprecedented rate. This data could be either structured or unstructured. Today’s business enterprises owe a huge part of their success to an economy that is firmly knowledge-oriented.

Data drives the modern organizations of the world and hence making sense of this data and unraveling the various patterns and revealing unseen connections within the vast sea of data becomes critical and a hugely rewarding endeavor indeed. There is a need to convert Big Data into Business Intelligence that enterprises can readily deploy.

Hadoop is the platform of choice for working with extremely large volumes of data.
