Analytics

“Analytics is the discovery and communication of meaningful patterns in data. Especially valuable in areas rich with recorded information, analytics relies on the simultaneous application of statistics, computer programming and operations research to quantify performance. Analytics often favors data visualization to communicate insight.”Source: Wikipedia contributions 2012

Big Data Analytics

• Data Analytics is a growing filed that has been in the spotlight for the last decade

• According renowned data scientist Dr. Usama Fayyad, meaningful use of data is determined by 3Vs – Volume, Velocity and Variety

From Traditional Data to Big Data Processing

• Major trends that impacted the advances:

– Cloud Computing – Rise of Social Computing media– Exponential growth in mobile computing

Growth in Data

• Other than traditional file systems, the transactional and stored data has changed significantly

• Rise in non-structured data such as images, video, audio, messages, device data, location data has exponentially grown in the past decade
