5. Big Data!
• Big – Volume!
– Big is relative!
• Google > 400PB !
• Traditional Swiss companies < 400 PB ;-)!
– But Big Data (Volume) is a fact!
• Data constantly grow!
• More and more systems produce data!
• Classical relational schemas already do a pre-selection
of data!
• There is more interesting data in your company than
you potentially assume (dark data on Intranet or File
Shares, application silos, etc.)!

• Schema on purpose / schema on read!
– Combination of classical and new data
sources!
