Big Data is About More than Just Size
February 3, 2015
Although Big Data has been around for some time, and some might say its discussions are getting old, the truth is that Big Data is beginning to streamline into more mainstream uses. ZDNet covers the topic in their article, “Getting Big Data Right is About More than the Size of Your Database.”
The article begins:
“As a term becomes more familiar, it also gets misused and it’s easy to think of big data as a system that makes a data warehouse achievable even for a small business. That misses the point, though. Big data isn’t big because you have lots of it. It’s big because it covers lots of areas in which you can find insights that your regular data set – however large – doesn’t cover.”
The article goes on to highlight Microsoft Delve as one way to see Big Data making an appearance in most mainstream architectures. Office 365 is using Delve and other components to move out of the box and help users make the most of their installations. Stephen E. Arnold is a longtime leader in search and had devoted a good bit of time to Microsoft SharePoint, in both its former and current iterations. He gives some attention to Delve as well as other Office 365 topics on his SharePoint feed at ArnoldIT.com. Keep your eyes open to see if his findings might have an impact on your organization’s installation.
