2. “Every day, we create 2.5 quintillion bytes of data
— 90% of the data in the world today has been
created in the last two years alone.
This data comes from everywhere: sensors used
to gather climate information, posts to social
media sites, digital pictures and videos, purchase
transaction records, and cell phone GPS signals
to name a few. This data is big data.”

“Explosive growth in the amount of data businesses must
track has challenged legacy database platforms.
New unstructured, text-centric, data sources, such as
feeds from Facebook, and Twitter do not fit into the
structured data model.
These unstructured datasets tend to be very big and
difficult to work with.
A ‘Big Data’ movement has emerged to address the need
for a next generation data analytics platform.
Hadoop, an open source software product, is emerging as
the preferred solution for Big Data analytics.”
