 Big Data Analytics
 Benefits of Big Data Analytics
 Types of Big Data
 Characteristics of Big Data

 Big Data Tools and Software
 Big Data Mining
 Top Trends in Big Data
WHAT IS BIG DATA DATA
 Big Data is a massive collection of data that is growing exponentially over time

 Big Data is a data set that is so large and complex that traditional data

management tools (including traditional machine learning) cannot store or process

it efficiently

 Big Data is a type of data that is extremely large in size


WHAT IS AN EXAMPLE OF BIG
DATA?
 Combating Cyber Threats Data

 Network Traffic Examination

 Enhancing Enterprise Protection Data

 Cloud Security Monitoring Data

 User Behaviour Data


WHY IS BIG DATA IMPORTANT
 Compagnies use big data in their system to improve operations, provide better

customer services, create personalized marketing campaign and take other actions

that, ultimately, can increase revenue and profits

 Big data is also used by medical researchers to identify disease signs and risk

factors and by doctors to help

 Astronomy, cybersecurity, medicine, ecology, etc


BIG DATA ANALYTICS
 Big data analytics examines large amounts of data to uncover hidden patterns,

correlations and other insights

 Big data analytics helps organization harness their data and use it to identify new

opportunities

 That, in turn, leads to smarter business moves, more efficient operations, higher

profits and happier customers


TYPE OF DATA
 Structured

 Unstructured

 Semi-structured
STRUCTURED DATA
 Structured data is used to refer to data which is already stored in databases, in an

ordered manner

 Two source of structured data: Human-Generated, Machine-Generated

 All data received from sensors, antennas, web logs and financial systems are

classified as machine-generated data

 Human-generated structured data includes all the data human input to a computer
UN-STRUCTURED DATA
 Unstructured data is defined as any data with an unknown form or structure

 Aside from its massive size, un-structured data presents several challenges in terms

of processing and extracting value from it

 A heterogeneous data source containing a mix of simple text files, images, videos,

and so on is an example of unstructured data


SEMI-STRUCTURED DATA
 Semi-structured data can contain both types of information

 Semi-structured data appears to be structured, but it is not defined in the same

way that a table definition in a relational database is

 A data representation in an XML file is an example of semi-structured data


CHARACTERISTICS OF BIG DATA
VOLUME
 The name Big Data itself is related to a size which is enormous

 Size of the data plays a very crucial role in determining value out of the data, Also

whether a particular data can be considered as a Big Data or not, is dependent

upon the volume of the data

 Hence, Volume is one characteristics which needs to be considered while dealing

with Big Data solutions

 For example: Cybersecurity data


VELOCITY
 The term “VELOCITY” refers to the speed of generation of data

 How fast the data is generated and processed to meet the demands, determines

real potential in the data

 Big Data Velocity deals with the speed at which data flow in from sources like

business processes, application logs, networks, and social media sites, sensors,

mobiles devices, antennas, etc

 The flow of data is massive and continuous.


VERACITY
 When we are dealing with a high volume, velocity and variety of data, it is not

possible that all the data is going to be 100% correct, there will be dirty data

 The quality of the data being captured can vary greatly

 The data accuracy of analysis depends on the veracity of the source data
VALUE
 Value is the most important aspect in the big data

 Through the potential value of the big data is huge

 It is all well and good having access to big data but unless we can turn it into value

it becomes useless
VARIETY
 Big data is not always structured data and it is not always easy to put big data into a

relational database

 This means that the category to which big data belongs to is also a very essential

fact that needs to be known by the data analyst

 Dealing with a variety of structured and unstructured data greatly increases the

complexity if both storing and processing

 90 of data generated is unstructured


A MORE COMPLETE DEFINTION
“Big data is high-volume, high-velocity and high-variety information assets that

demand cost-effective, innovative forms of information processing for enhanced

insight and decision making.” -- Gartner
