The term “Big Data”
describes the dramatically growing amounts of data being generated, transferred
and stored. It is overlaid with the increasing use of information technology, global
networking, and digital devices to manage, view, store, and control it.
Big Data is not just
for consumers. The same phenomenon is
happening in business management, commerce, entertainment and social communications,
as well as in manufacturing operations. Big
Data demands storage capacity and computing performance, driving new
opportunities for enhanced intelligence and tools to offer users informed
decision making.
