Understanding Big Data [Infographic]

The Amount of Big Data in the world today is overwhelming.

According to the IDC Digital Universe study, the world’s data is doubling every two years. And over the next decade, the number of servers managing the world’s data stores will grow by ten times.

In 2012, 2.5 quintillion bytes of data are created each day with 90% of the world’s data created in the last two years alone.

With this explosion of massive amounts of data, the need for understanding it is great.

To help interpret and use this data, a flexible and scalable analytical tool is essential. Open-source analytic tools, such as Infinit.e, easily integrate data sources like MongoDB, Apache Hadoop and Elasticsearch. No longer bound to proprietary solutions, Infinit.e maximizes analyst effectiveness by providing a true knowledge discovery laboratory all the while reducing time and workload.
