A term for
data sets that is so large or complex that traditional
data processing applications are inadequate to deal with them. Challenges include analysis, capture,
data curation, search, sharing, storage, transfer, visualization, querying, updating and information privacy. The term “
big data” often refers simply to the use of predictive analytics, user behavior analytics, or certain other advanced
data analytics methods that extract value from
data, and seldom to a particular size of
data set. Accuracy in
big data may lead to more confident decision-making, and better decisions can result in greater operational efficiency, cost reduction and reduced risk.
