Technology Revolution: The Future of Now

Big Data. The world of Three V's. Gartner describes "big data" as a three-dimensional data growth model: Volume of data; Velocity or speed of data in/out; and Variety of data types and sources. When we do the math, "big" typically ranges from a few dozen terabytes to multi-petabytes or more in a single data set. The bottom line: Big data is waaayyy too much for common software tools to efficiently capture, manage and process within a tolerable length of time. This is a job for game-changing solutions and exceptional technologies. What does big data mean to you and your business?
