3 Vs of Big Data?¶

Volume¶

The quantity of generated and stored data. The size of the data determines the value and potential insight- and whether it can actually be considered big data or not. (TB -> PB -> EB -> ZB -> YB)

Variety¶

The type and nature of the data. This helps people who analyze it to effectively use the resulting insight.

Velocity¶

In this context, the speed at which the data is generated and processed to meet the demands and challenges that lie in the path of growth and development.
