    The document discusses the history and current state of big data. It notes that while the term "big data" is relatively new, collecting and storing large amounts of information for analysis has existed for a long time. In the early 2000s, Doug Laney defined big data using the three Vs: volume, referring to data from various sources like business transactions and sensors; velocity, regarding the speed at which data streams in; and variety, covering both structured and unstructured data formats. New technologies have helped address the challenges of storing large volumes of data.

    eeeBig Data History and Current Considerations

    While the term “big data” is relatively new, the act of gathering and storing large
    amounts of information for eventual analysis is ages old. The concept gained
    momentum in the early 2000s when industry analyst Doug Laney articulated the
    now-mainstream definition of big data as the three Vs:

    Volume. Organizations collect data from a variety of sources, including


    business transactions, social media and information from sensor or machine-to-
    machine data. In the past, storing it would’ve been a problem – but new
    technologies (such as Hadoop) have eased the burden.

    Velocity. Data streams in at an unprecedented speed and must be dealt with in


    a timely manner. RFID tags, sensors and smart metering are driving the need to
    deal with torrents of data in near-real time.

    Variety. Data comes in all types of formats – from structured, numeric data in
    traditional databases to unstructured text documents, email, video, audio, stock
    ticker data and financial transactions.
