Definition Of Big Data


Big data is a buzzword, as well as catch-phrase, accustomed to describe a massive volume involving both structured and unstructured data that is certainly so large that it is difficult for you to process using traditional database and application techniques.

While the term may seem to reference the volume of data, that is not always the case. The term big data -- particularly when used by vendors -- may refer to the technology (which involves tools and processes) that an organization requires when they have to handle the large amounts of data and storage facilities.

The term big data is considered to have originated with web search companies who had to query very large distributed aggregations of loosely-structured data.
