How do I define large data? This is a question of the beholder and the benevolent. The mainstream is a "3V" model, that is, quantity (Volume), speed (velocity), and kind (produced), and Gartner's definition that large data is beyond the common hardware environment and the ability of software tools to collect, manage, and process data for its users within acceptable time.
The sheer volume of data is undoubtedly one of the most obvious features of large data. Forecasts say global information is growing at a rate of 59% a year. Does the size of the enterprise's data reach an unbearable level? In last year's survey we have on the enterprise monthly new data scale, the results show that the size of the enterprise data is growing, but not to reach the level of enterprise control, the monthly new data size of more than 500G enterprises accounted for 16.67%.

As you can see from the figure above, the top six vendors are IBM (18.74%), Oracle (18.33%), SAP (11.35%), http://www.aliyun.com/zixun/aggregation/11208.html, respectively. >microsoft (9.71%), SAS (7.52%), and NetApp (7.52%).
Compared with 2012 survey data, Oracle dropped from 27.93% to 18.33%, and a single big situation ended, replaced by a proliferation of companies, each with a relatively average share. IBM and SAP share grew most rapidly in the top three, from 15.99% and 7.66% to the current 18.74% and 11.35% per cent.
In this year's survey, there are new options for domestic manufacturers. Compared to several foreign it giants, the share of domestic manufacturers is only 5.61%. This year the shock of the "Prism Gate" incident to the Enterprise information security sounded the alarm, but also to domestic manufacturers to bring great opportunities and challenges. Large data and information security in the field of surging demand, domestic manufacturers will usher in the spring of growth.
