Big Data

While the concept of gathering large amounts of data for analysis has existed for ages, it gained momentum in the early 2000s when Doug Laney defined big data using the three Vs: volume, or large amounts of data from various sources; velocity, referring to the speed at which data streams in; and variety, covering the different formats data can take.

Considerations
While the term “big data” is relatively new, the act of gathering and storing large
amounts of information for eventual analysis is ages old. The concept gained
momentum in the early 2000s when industry analyst Doug Laney articulated the
now-mainstream definition of big data as the three Vs:

Volume. Organizations collect data from a variety of sources, including


business transactions, social media and information from sensor or machine-to-
machine data. In the past, storing it would’ve been a problem – but new
technologies (such as Hadoop) have eased the burden.

Velocity. Data streams in at an unprecedented speed and must be dealt with in


a timely manner. RFID tags, sensors and smart metering are driving the need to
deal with torrents of data in near-real time.

Variety. Data comes in all types of formats – from structured, numeric data in
traditional databases to unstructured text documents, email, video, audio, stock
ticker data and financial transactions.
