The term simply refers to large amount of data generally measured in terabytes or even petabytes, that swamp business on day-to-day basis. The term may be new to you but the whole act of gathering information, storing it analysing, is ages old. Earlier either the data doesn’t existed or was on paper in cabinets, hard to access and impossible to analyse.
Big data now is being generated by every single around us and that too at an alarming rate.
