How big is Big? Applying Big Data concepts for analytics and visualizations at any scale
Current estimates say that by 2020 there will be more than 40 zetabytes of data worldwide (which is about 5,200 gigabytes for each person).
While most companies will work with just a small fraction of this available data, the challenges they face in aggregating and organizing their data can benefit from approaches similar to those used in big data analysis. Generally, big data projects follow the same process: acquire the data, align the data, store it for future use, and then shape it for analysis. Therefore, while each data aggregation project is as unique as the customer problem it addresses, there are universal questions to ask that can set you up for the best overall strategy to fit your needs.
