Big data

What makes data big

5V’s of Big Data

• Volume, velocity, variety, veracity and value

How we build from bottom up from data to analytics.

Since 1969

• Expenitial Growth across Tech, Economics, Finance, and Science (Underlying driver of what makes data big)
  • Computations Morse Law
    • The dependency for exponetial power to increase

4 Factors at play

• Storage cost (the ability to keep your data on a disk)
  • There has been a decrease in cost of storage cost
• CPU cost
  • the cost of CPU’s have decreased
• Network access
  • People get on the internet and start to use connected services
  • Is the only one that has exponential increased
• Badwidth cost
  • What it takes for all these computers to work together has expoentially decrease

The effect of this increased exponentially the volume and velocity of data

Function of 3 things Exponential Growth (see above) Real time networks

• Example is sensor netoworks (little computers on every player that gets stored at a location) Cloud Computing
• Cluster computing
  • Head node that is distributing the work to the worker nodes
  • we can distribute computation and where we hold the data and we can do it from home
  • How do we process this data (Batch vs. Real time)
