This document discusses real-time analytics using big data. It describes the three V's of big data - volume, velocity, and variety. Examples are given for each V and how real-time analytics could be used for different scenarios involving large amounts and speeds of diverse data types. The document also mentions two additional V's - viability and value. It recommends MongoDB and Syslog-ng as technologies to consider for real-time analytics and envisions how real-time big data analytics could benefit DevOps, agile methodologies, and infrastructure/resource management in the future.
