Big Data is an exciting concept and emerging set of technologies that hold seemingly unlimited promise to enable organizations to gain new analytic insights and operational efficiencies. It is a unique architecture that enables low-cost, high-speed, parallel processing of huge data sets of structured and unstructured data.
In a recent survey, Frost & Sullivan found that 58% of large enterprises had already implemented one or more Big Data and/or analytic solutions, and the rest were either implementing, evaluating, or planning to investigate in the next 18-24 months.
