- Large data sets
- Defy conventional management solutions such as spreadsheets and databases
Challenges
- Large data sets often contain different kinds of data
- Not just basic numeric data, text, and images
- Multimedia (audio, video, etc.)
- Storing large amounts of data requires massive amounts of secondary computer memory
- Selecting and organizing data for analysis requires significant processing power
- Protecting big data requires technological and logistical planning
