Big
data is data sets that are so big and complex that traditional
data-processing application software are inadequate to deal with them.
Big data challenges include capturing data, data storage, data analysis,
search, sharing, transfer, visualization, querying, updating,
information privacy and data source. There are a number of concepts
associated with big data: originally there were 3 concepts volume,
variety, velocity. Other concepts later attributed with big data are
veracity (i.e., how much noise is in the data) and value. Data sets
grow rapidly - in part because they are increasingly gathered by cheap
and numerous information-sensing Internet of things devices such as
mobile devices, aerial (remote sensing), software logs, cameras,
microphones, radio-frequency identification (RFID) readers and wireless
sensor networks. The world's technological per-capita capacity to store
information has roughly doubled every 40 months since the 1980s; as of
2012, every day 2.5 exabytes (2.5×1018) of data are generated. Based on
an IDC report prediction, the global data volume will grow exponentially
from 4.4 zettabytes to 44 zettabytes between 2013 and 2020. By 2025,
IDC predicts there will be 163 zettabytes of data. One question for
large enterprises is determining who should own big-data initiatives
that affect the entire organization.
