Abstract
This chapter of the book chapter provides detailed overview of the major concept used in Big Data. In order to process the huge volume of data, the first step is the pre-processing which is required to anomalies such as, missing values by applying various transformations. This chapter provides a detail overview of preprocessing tools used for Big Data such as, R, Yahoo! Pipes, Mechanical Turk, Elasticsearch etc. Beside preprocessing tools, the chapter provides detailed overview of storage tools, programming tools, data visualization, log processing tools and caching tools used for Big Data analytics. In other words, this chapter is the core of the book and provides the overview of the major technologies discussed later in the book.

Developing Content Delivery Networks
It is a term coined in the late 1990s to describe a system of computers networked together across the Internet that cooperate transparently to deliver content (especially large media content) to end-users. CDNs are a vital component of the Internet’s content delivery value chain, servicing nearly a third of the Internet’s most popular content sites. A CDN is a network optimized to deliver specific content, such as static Web pages, transaction-based Web sites, streaming media, or even real-time video or audio. Its basic purpose is to quickly give users the most current content in a highly available graphics or streaming video, in a highly available fashion.
