The reasons that validate the importance of Big Data
Big Data is independent of any field size or business, such as 
management and collection are carried out in all areas; 
Therefore, it makes easier to access. Let's get an overview of
 the reasons that validate the importance of big data in the 
enterprise:  data an asset to the company: Every company 
that produces data, whether small or large.generate data and
 an appropriate strategy is required to store the data. The 
amount, of data, can be very large or less, but an appropriate 
strategy can help to manage the right way through the, 
collection use, and protection of, the company.

This indicates that companies believe that large amounts of 
data are not for them now his able importance to use and 
understand. Data collection market and better serve 
customers: customers and market trends are some important
 factors for the company to look for success. Each company 
manages the data to understand the whims of their customers 
tend to change over time. Therefore, may be useful
 applications to analyze large amounts of data for a better 
understanding of customer needs, job, and it would be the 
future purchase  Improve the functioning and internal 
efficiency: companies should also focus on the data of their 
employees, including the optimization of the delivery, 
performance monitoring, and the recruitment of suitable 
candidates; that all can be carried out with large amounts of 
data. This can help to leave the internal efficiency of 
different services companies.Efficient financial market: 
financial transactions are also important for companies 
because it leads to economic growth, of the organization. 
Financial transactions between companies and customers 
can be handled using the analysis of large amounts of data 
because it the algorithms treated for purposes of the bill 
related Business understanding optimizing business 
processes can now be carried out 
more easily. Retailers can maximize their actions on the basis
 of forecast data from the media. the supply chain and route 
of administration can now be optimized using this technique. 
The human resources department of organizations will benefit 
as hiring the right talent. It also measures the level of 
employee engagement with their tools. Therefore, the 
analysis of Big Data is not limited to specific fields numbered 
but broadened its horizons by services and self-quantification
 on a larger scale. If it is used properly, it can affect 
companies in an unexpected movement and be more and 
more opportunities for growth. Candidates who have used a 
great knowledge of the tools in the analysis of large data sets
 are in high demand. For they need knowledge about software 
that can help with this task. One of the best software that 
suits your needs is Hadoop and formal training, it can be 
very successful...

By the Company does not intend to be in it, must be thinking 
what is the importance of large enterprise data volumes and how
 it can help in the proper functioning of the company. Now, many
 people believe that large amounts of data are required in certain
 areas. However, this is just a myth; However, it is free of all 
boundaries and can help the operation within all companies. "
Big Data has to benefit a great potential of all industry 
organizations worldwide. Big Data is much more than a lot of 
data and in particular the combination of different datasets 
provide organizations with real knowledge that can be used in 
decision making and to improve the financial situation of an 
organization. Before you know how big can help your 
organization's data, we will see what is really the big data: It is 
generally accepted that large data can be explained in terms of 
three V: speed, scope, and volume. However, I would add a few
 more V, to better explain the implications and the impact of a
 well-thought of big data strategy.

speed
The speed is the speed, with the generated data is stored, 
analyzed and displayed. In the past, when the amount was a 
common practice, it was normal to get every night every week 
an update of the database, or even. Computers require time to 
process the databases and updates. In large age data, the data 
in real-time or near real-time to create. With the availability of an 
Internet connection with a cable or wirelessly, the machines can 
transmit data when it is created devices. The speed at which 
data is created is now almost unimaginable: Every minute climb
 to 100 hours of video on YouTube. In addition, more than 
200 million emails every minute, about 20 million views and 
30,000 photos will be sent uploaded to Flickr pages nearly 
300,000 tweets sent and are nearly 2.5 million visits to Google.
Challenge organizations face enormous speed data in real time
 to create and use. diversity In the past, all the data was created,
 structured data was fit well in columns and rows, but those days
 are gone. Today 90% of the data generated by the organization
 of unstructured data. Today there are data in many different 
formats: structured data, semi-structured data, unstructured data
 and complex structured data. The wide variety of data requires 
a different approach and different techniques to store all raw data.
There are many different data types, and each of these types of 
information require, different types of scans or different tools to 
be used. Social media like Facebook posts or tweets can give 
different views, such as sentiment analysis of your brand, while 
the sensory data about how a product is made available is used 
and what the error is. volume 90% of all data ever created, was 
in the last two years. From now on, the data amount is doubled 
in the world every two years. In 2020, we have 50 times as much
 data as we in 2011. The amount of data is huge and an 
important factor for the digital universe constantly objects with 
sensors in all data globally expanding Internet had to create 
every other device.
Big Data
If you look at the approximately 2.5 million terabytes of data 
generated plans annually by sensors installed on the engines. 
agribusiness also generates large amounts of data, installed on
 tractors sensors. John Deere used, for example, to check the 
data from the sensors to optimize the machine, to monitor the 
growing fleet of agricultural machinery and help to make farmers 
better decisions. Shell operates with ultra-sensitive sensors to 
find more sources of oil and when these sensors are installed in 
10,000 wells to collect data about 10 exabytes annually. This is
 nothing new compared to the Square Kilometre Array telescope 
will generate an Exabyte of data per day. In the past, a lot of data
 has to provide, it would cause serious problems. Today, to 
produce with reduced storage costs, better storage options that 
Hadoop and algorithms a sense of all this data, there is no 
problem.
truthfulness, a lot of data on a variety of high-speed input 
volumes worthless if the data is incorrect. Incorrect information 
can cause many problems for businesses and consumers. 
Therefore, companies need to ensure that the data is correct, 
and the analysis of the data is correct. Especially in automated 
decision-making, where the human eye is involved, you must be 
sure that the data and analysis are correct. If you want to be 
your organization's information-centric, to be able to trust the 
data and analysis. Surprisingly trust 1-3 entrepreneurs, not the 
information in the decision used. So if you want to develop a 
strategy of large amounts of data, which should focus heavily on
 data accuracy and precision of analysis.

variability
Big Data is highly variable. Brian Hopkins, principal analyst at 
Forrester defines variability as the "direction of variation in the 
lexicon". It refers won the Watson supercomputer Jeopardy. The 
supercomputer would "dissect an answer in its meaning and
to know what was the right question." It is very difficult because
 words have different meanings as a whole depends on the 
context. For the answer, Watson had to understand the 
relationship. Variability is often confused with the variety. Say 
you a bakery that sells 10 different types of bread. This is the 
variety. Now imagine 3 days before going directly to the bakery 
and the same type of bread to buy every day, but every day it 
tastes and smells different. So is the variability.
Variability is therefore very important in the analysis of sentiment
 by. Variability means that the direction (fast) changing. (Almost)
 the same tweets a word may have an entirely different meaning.
 To run a specific meaning analysis algorithms, they must be 
able to understand the context and to, decipher, able, the exact 
meaning of the word in this context. This is still very difficult.
display, This is the hardest part of the large amounts of data. Do 
everything you can, of course, a lot of data in a way that is easy 
to understand and to read. With good raw data, screens can be 
used. Golf visualizations do not mean ordinary graphs or pie 
charts. Average complex graphics containing many variable data
 while understandable and readable. The screen may not be the 
most difficult part technology; it most difficult. Tell a complex 
story in a chart is very difficult, but also extremely important.
