Big Data describes data sets so large and complex they are impractical to manage with traditional software tools. It is not a single technique or a tool, rather it has become a complete subject, which involves various tools, techniques and frameworks. Big data technologies such as Hadoop and cloud-based analytics bring significant cost advantages when it comes to storing large amounts of data, they can identify more efficient ways of doing business. Big data technologies are important in providing more accurate analysis, which may lead to more concrete decision-making resulting in greater operational efficiencies, cost reductions, and reduced risks for the business.
