Big Data Revolution and Clouds ?

So Big Data, where will it take us? Well, it's another revolution, it's built on clouds. The data collection's too large to transmit economic clear of the Internet. You're talking about petabytes of collections. The computation is data intensive, lots of disks, networks, and CPUs.

The overhead of maintaining cyber infrastructure for that is very expensive, but why not share it amongst the community? So for example, Google Maps is a huge infrastructure investment, but it allows all sorts of businesses. You're going to see smart cities building on some of those infrastructures, on some of the data collected for smart cities.

Users buy Big Data services from Clouds and they share the overhead. So they're sharing out the cost of putting all that Big Data together.

The essential part to all of this is here.

This Big data is going to be easy to use. It's going to be easy to write programs for. It's going to provide you fast turn around, so you know what the economy's doing. What the stock market is doing. How do you do that? You make programming very easy so that programmers can easily deliver those values to the community.
