Whos Generating Big Data

Mobile devices
(tracking all objects all the time)
Social media and networks
(all of us are generating data)

Scientific instruments
(collecting all sorts of data)
Sensor technology and
networks
(measuring all kinds of data)

The progress and innovation is no longer hindered by the ability to collect data
But, by the ability to manage, analyze, summarize, visualize, and discover knowledge
from the collected data in a timely manner and in a scalable fashion

How much data?

Google processes 20 PB a day (2008)
Wayback Machine has 3 PB + 100 TB/month (3/2009)
Facebook has 2.5 PB of user data + 15 TB/day
(4/2009)
eBay has 6.5 PB of user data + 50 TB/day (5/2009)
CERNs Large Hydron Collider (LHC) generates 15
PB a year
640K ought to be
enough for
anybody.

Characteristics of Big Data:

1-Scale (Volume)
Data Volume
44x increase from 2009 2020
From 0.8 zettabytes to 35zb

Data volume is increasing exponentially

Exponential increase in
collected/generated data

Characteristics of Big Data:

2-Complexity (Varity)
Various formats, types, and
structures
Text, numerical, images, audio,
video, sequences, time series, social
media data, multi-dim arrays, etc
Static data vs. streaming data
A single application can be
generating/collecting many types of
data

To extract knowledge all these types of

data need to linked together

Characteristics of Big Data:

3-Speed (Velocity)
Data is begin generated fast and need to be
processed fast
Online Data Analytics
Late decisions missing opportunities
Examples
E-Promotions: Based on your current location, your purchase history,
what you like send promotions right now for store next to you
Healthcare monitoring: sensors monitoring your activities and body
any abnormal measurements require immediate reaction

Challenges

How to transfer Big Data?

Big Data Transmission

Data transmission with high-value-per-bit
SONET/SDH (Synchronous Optical Network)

Lower-cost-per bit technologies

Carrier Ethernet.

Networking switching is moving rapidly to

10-40 Gbps
Big data requires big networks.

Big Data- Network

However Ethernet on its own is not
sufficient to handle the torrent of Big Data.
Network architectures also need to
change to become flatter and more
flexible.
Basic idea:
Push computing to data, not pushing
data to computing.
