First, you know the type of results you want from your data but it’s computationally difficult to obtain. Second, you know the questions to ask but struggle with the answers and need to do data mining to help find those answers. And third is in the area of data exploration where you need to reveal the unknowns and look through the data for patterns and hidden relationships. The open source HPCC Systems big data processing platform can help companies with these challenges by deriving insights from massive data sets quick and simple. Designed by data scientists, it is a complete integrated solution from data ingestion and data processing to data delivery.

My fear is that we're not developing the cultural, moral or legal underpinnings to ensure this new force will be used for the good. Too easily have we allowed for all of our current data to be packaged and sold to the highest bidder...that data will represent so much more when sensors are integrated into everything we own.Ariel Beeryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01131779278909448505noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30455862.post-65769838375881686752013-01-15T03:24:26.002-05:002013-01-15T03:24:26.002-05:00Good day, Richard.

Similar to you we realized there's more to a practicable defn of Big Data than just growth in volume-velocity-variety, so our recently updated defn acknowledges that: "Big Data are high-volume, high-velocity and high-variety information assets that require new innovative forms of processing for enhanced decision making, insight discovery and process optimization." A mouthful, but it recognizes that merely scaling won't handle it and that there are distinct purposes for it. Still, I like the tightness of your definition! --Doug Laney, VP Research, Gartner, @doug_laney <br /><br />Original "3Vs" piece from 2001: <br />http://blogs.gartner.com/doug-laney/deja-vvvue-others-claiming-gartners-volume-velocity-variety-construct-for-big-data/Doug Laneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06067967065960881818noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30455862.post-41047000746565621192012-06-14T11:48:29.026-04:002012-06-14T11:48:29.026-04:00Palantir

I agree with you: one distinguishing characteristic of Big Data in common usage is that it describes a broader swath of 'behavioral' data than ever before, which directly relates to both the size of the datasets and the implications of analytics. <br /><br />You also mention 'intervention' in real-time. IMO THIS is the big challenge of Big Data: it's being used to discover correlations and predictive patterns on GROUPS of individuals better than ever before, but it can be used at the same time to predict INDIVIDUAL behavior and intervene in real time.<br /><br />Sandy Pentland of MIT says, "Your phone company knows when you are about to buy a Starbucks before you do!"
