Big data is the hottest trend in enterprise computing. It's not a fad, but rather a new phase in the evolution of data management. It's a way to describe the exponential data growth we all struggle to accommodate -- and a way to underscore new opportunities to extract meaning from that data using emerging technologies. Why has big data "arrived" at this particular moment? The root cause is the Web itself. With the Web, we are no longer dealing with thousands of users of a client-server application powered by an RDBMS. Web applications are open to worldwide consumers. Millions of users instantly start generating data by interacting with those apps.
In this Digital Spotlight, we focus on several of the key aspects of the big data trend, starting with large-scale processing of semi-structured data using Hadoop. We'll walk you through the "The NoSQL Revolution," offering illuminating explanations of the four basic NoSQL database types and their best uses and give you a glimpse of the future in "The Internet of Things," which describes how Internet-connected sensors will deliver raw bits and bytes for analytics processing and yield improvements in health- care, transportation, home automation, and more.
