If you’re completely new to big data and aren’t quite sure what it is, why it’s necessary, and how it works, then this is the course for you! We are going to clarify what big data is (and isn’t), while also defining some other related terms around data characterization and analysis methods. Then, we talk about some architectural problems with big data and how we solve them with cluster computing, distributed storage, and cluster management. Lastly, we will cover some of the popular technologies and illustrate how big data is used in the real world to hopefully shine a light on how big data is already impacting your daily life — whether you realize it or not. This training is designed to move participants from an initial understanding of Big Data terms and concepts to working with tool sets to dig into the data itself and start identifying the patterns and trends that would otherwise go unnoticed.

Product Information

Data is created constantly, and at an ever-increasing rate. Mobile phones, social media, imaging technologies to determine a medical diagnosis-all these and more create new data, and that must be stored somewhere for some purpose. Devices and sensors automatically generate diagnostic information that needs to be stored and processed in real time. Merely keeping up with this huge influx of data is difficult, but substantially more challenging is analyzing vast amounts of it, especially when it does not conform to traditional notions of data structure, to identify meaningful patterns and extract useful information. These challenges of the data deluge present the opportunity to transform business, government, science, and everyday life.

“Big Data” is data whose scale, diversity and complexity require new architecture, techniques, algorithms, and analytics to manage it and extract value and hidden knowledge from.

Although the volume of Big Data tends to attract the most attention, generally the variety and velocity of the data provide a more apt definition of Big Data. (Big Data is sometimes described as having 4 Vs: volume, variety, veracity and velocity.)


Due to its size or structure, Big Data cannot be efficiently analyzed using only traditional databases or methods. Big Data problems require new tools and technologies to store, manage, and realize business benefits from the following types of data:

Big Data professionals use data analytics lifecycle which consists of six stages

Additional Information
