Big Data

Big Data refers to extremely large, complex information sets that are too large to be handled by traditional data processing systems. It involves collecting, storing, analyzing, and utilizing data to reveal patterns, trends, and insights that inform decision-making.

Big Data is often measured in petabytes or more, encompassing both structured data, such as sales records, and unstructured data, including videos and social media posts. Modern tools and cloud technologies have made it possible to work with this data efficiently. Companies and organizations rely on Big Data to enhance services, make informed predictions, and automate tasks in ways that were previously impossible.
