The document discusses the concept of big data through definitions from IBM, Forrester, and O'Reilly. It notes big data is characterized by volume, variety and velocity. It then uses the analogy of grains of rice to illustrate the size of different data units from bytes to yottabytes. Finally, it lists some applications of big data like sports and banking and advantages such as real-time features and predictive analysis.
8. “Big Data is the frontier of a firm's ability to
store, process, and access (SPA) all the data
it needs to operate effectively, make
decisions, reduce risks, and serve
customers.”
-- Forrester
9. “Big data is data that exceeds the
processing capacity of conventional
database systems. The data is too big,
moves too fast, or doesn't fit the strictures of
your database architectures. To gain value
from this data, you must choose an
alternative way to process it.”-- O’Reilly
10. “Big data is the data characterized by 3
attributes: volume, variety and velocity.”
-- IBM
