"Big data" is here to stay. Even technologists who might have previously disparaged it as a buzzphrase will now acknowledge that the term and its accompanying technologies are evolving into real-world enterprise offerings and data center strategies. This SearchStorage.com big data tutorial is designed to get data storage managers up to speed on the conversations shaping the decisions many IT managers are making about big data. An increasing number of data sources -- such as social media -- and a growing number of media-rich data types -- such as X-rays and video -- are fueling the challenges associated with big data at companies that might never have thought of themselves as big data customers. The divide between analytics and storage in the world of big data is narrowing as data storage managers find themselves tasked with designing and managing big data infrastructures. View the content in our big data tutorial to learn more about these high-transaction environments, new scale-out technologies, rising I/O demands and the latest news on Hadoop. This will be added to Statistics Resources and Big Data Subject Tracer™.
