36. Drivers of Big Data

37. And what about the data growth in
your organisation?

38. Big Data
• Verzamelingen van gegevens die met
de gangbare hardware of software niet
meer te hanteren zijn.
• Opslaan en raadplegen van data, maar
ook verwerken, verplaatsen,
analyseren en weergeven.
• Zowel om gestructureerde gegevens
(bvb. in databanken) maar ook
ongestructureerde (Word, Excel,…).

39. 3 V’s in Big Data
1. Volume (hoeveelheid). Hoe meer
data, des te beter of nauwkeuriger
2. Velocity (snelheid). De snelheid
waarmee data gegenereerd wordt
3. Variety (diversiteit). Grote diversiteit
van redelijk losstaande data die
gecombineerd moeten worden

40. Information overload

Nike +
