We are the V’s of Big Data - Volume|Velocity|Variety


          

Volume : We will go first with volume. It’s obvious our understanding to Big Data is 
Big = Volume” .There is huge volume of data collected every day in various formats from various sources. We will take example of Facebook. Their are 2.5 billion monthly active users on Facebook, all there data is been collected and processed by Facebook, it could be image, video, gif’s etc. This is just example of Facebook. Just Imagine how much data would be processed in different social media’s on a daily basis all over the world. We can’t even imagine the amount data collected and processed on a daily basis. We are aware of KB, MB, GB & TB but there are exabyte (EB) is 1018  bytes . A zettabyte (ZB) is 1021 bytes and  yottabyte (YB) is 1024 bytes of data is been collected and processed.

Variety: We spoke about Volume and now wondering what kind of data are collected. There are different variety of Data’s are been collected from different platforms. Let’s take an example of email, just think how many email do we get in our inbox on a daily basis 10?, 50?, 100?. There are 2.9 billion email users worldwide send and receive about 269 billion each day. All the email sent will not be same like another, every email will consist of sender’s ,receiver’s email address ,a time stamp and human-written text also possibly attachments of images, videos, email attachment ,documents ,audio recording etc. All this data makes the variety element of Big Data.

Velocity : What is velocity? Why velocity comes in Big Data? We have collected huge volume of data and different variety of data but did we think about the velocity of the data processed .We will take example of Facebook, 900 million photos a day been uploaded by users. Just imagine Facebook has to ingest it, process it, file it and later should be able to retrieve .Let’s all this process has to be taken place in few seconds of time and also it has to be hassle free, here comes the importance of velocity. Velocity will be like the sailor of the ship. Hence velocity becomes the key requirement of 3V’s of Big Data.
There are many things plays important role in Big Data, but these 3V’s play major role in Big Data like 3 important vital organs of human body.

  2. Volume, speed with variety is important in Big data analysis. Your blog can be improved with more factful data with more examples. Face book is just one social application. Focus towards Amazon, YouTube, news channels will be more informative. All the best.

  6. Big data is a term that describes the large volume of data – both structured and unstructured – that inundates a business on a day-to-day basis. But it’s not the amount of data that’s important. It’s what organizations do with the data that matters. Big data can be analyzed for insights that lead to better decisions and strategic business moves.
