Big data - Velocity - Data Processing.

What is Velocity?   Velocity is the rate that data is obtained; the speed at this information can be analysed and used as a consequence. (Amir Gandomi, 2015). Moreover, the widespread of IoT gadgets and the use of technology daily generate a considerable amount of data rapidly. Systems need to be capable of gathered, processed, evaluated and stored at high speeds. (AWS, 2019)    Frequently, the information generated growths on an extraordinary scale that, most of the time, needs real-time analysis. (Amir Gandomi, 2015) Besides, the businesses need to collect the data immediately to make better decisions at all levels; to reach this goal, systems need to run as efficiently as required. (AWS, 2019)      "If a company collects data that can be processed and analyse in real-time and with the use of demographics and buying behaviour.  This company will be able to show ads effectively to their target audience, creating real customer value."

DATA VARIETY: THE USE OF BIG DATA IN THE HEALTH INDUSTRY

 Big data needs no introduction however, we must provide one in order to give context to the subject of this article. Gartner’s definition, (circa 2001) (which is still the go-to definition): Big data is data that contains greater variety arriving in increasing volumes and with ever-higher velocity. This is known as the three Vs. In simple terms, big data refers to large, more complex data sets that is derived from a new data source. These data sets are so voluminous that using traditional data processing software alone cannot manage or process them. Data, of course, has several types which brings us the subject matter. Data is described to be of several varieties and they most found in two ways; this can be structured or unstructured. Structured type of big data simply put are that data that can be processed, stored and retrieved in a fixed format. Structured data are well organized and they can be readily and seamlessly saved and accessed by using simple search engine algorit...

What is Big Data and How Does Big Data Work?

Big Data, one of today's popular concepts, was first introduced in the field of astronomy and genetics, and with the introduction of the internet into our lives, it has gained a different dimension and has become a resource that we have a share in its growth without realizing it. Before looking at the definition of big data, we need to look at the equivalent of the data in the literature. Data refers to a general term derived from research, observations, internet, social media, and sensors. Big data; It is the form of data that is analyzed and classified, transformed into meaningful and processable form. When interactions in constantly used social media accounts, search engines and traces left behind when searched, movements made with bank accounts, blogs, mails, sensors and individual users' interactions with the internet are brought together, a huge data stack is formed. We can evaluate big data as a treasure that feeds from this stack and presents meaningful and actionab...
