Rapid development of large data applications

The idea that big data technologies will eventually occupy a niche in the IT industry in 2013 is well proven. A global survey by Gartner shows that 42% of IT industry leaders have started investing in big data technologies or planning to invest in a year.

Large data is a collection of massive data, which is so large that it is difficult to deal with existing data management tools or traditional processing programs. With its unparalleled advantage being known to a growing number of companies, the role of big data in today's times has become increasingly important.

Doug Laney, vice president of Gartner Consulting, said, "institutional organizations have a deeper understanding of how big data and big data will revolutionize corporate development." Now, the key issues have shifted to such things as ' what strategies and technologies are needed ' and ' how to measure and ensure return on investment '. Most institutions are still in the early stages of big data development, with only a handful taking into account the profound impact of large data on infrastructure, organizations and even industry. ”

Gartner says the integration and analysis of massive data resources will help organizations gain "extraordinary" business insights, streamline operational processes and make more accurate decisions. Gartner predicts that by 2015, 20% of the world's 1000 organizations will strategically focus on the "information infrastructure" to reach the "application management" strategy. With the rapid development of modern technology, new data types and new information processing methods are constantly being created by the rapidly developing power of science and technology. The findings suggest that organizations are implementing large data programmes to address the changing changes.

"The rapid changes in science and technology have made it industry and business leaders worry about whether they have taken a step in starting the data plan," said Frank Buytendijk, vice president of Gartner Consulting. This fear is unnecessary, because big data now contains unlimited creativity and opportunities. ”

Expectations of big data are getting higher, and organizations from all walks of life are starting to collect and store large amounts of data related to operations, the public, business and society. The report points out that the combination of these resources with the current underutilized "black data", such as mail, multimedia and other corporate content, in many industries – especially in the government, manufacturing and education – is an opportunity to innovate.

"Business and it executives often say that information is one of the most important assets of a company." "More and more companies are starting to improve the efficiency of managing and configuring information," Laney said. But for now, the efficiency of information management is still not comparable to their skilful asset management. The application of the formal information assessment model will make it information management and business leaders make more informed decisions on information management, content richness, security, risk control, procurement, collection, use, barter, and product. ”
