Big Data Analytics: Turning E-commerce into A High Performance Machine


So why is Big Data analytics creating so much hype?

In the words of Peter Sondergaard, Senior Vice President, Gartner Research, “Information is the oil of the 21st century, and analytics is the combustion engine.” 

Big data analytics is the process of examining big data to uncover hidden patterns, unknown correlations and other useful information that can be used to make better decisions. With big data analytics, data scientists and others can analyze huge volumes of data that conventional analytics and business intelligence solutions can't touch. Consider that your organization could accumulate (if it hasn't already) billions of rows of data with hundreds of millions of data combinations in multiple data stores and abundant formats. High-performance analytics is necessary to process that much data in order to figure out what's important and what isn’t. (Source: SAS)

According to a report by IDC, digital universe will tend to double itself in every two years and by 2020, the data created and copied will reach the mark of 44 zetabyes or 44 trillion gigabytes.
