The document discusses big data and how hardware economics and the Intel Xeon processor are enabling big data solutions. It defines big data in terms of volume, velocity, and variety. It highlights how big data is driving benefits like reduced product development costs and increased revenue from data analytics. It then discusses how the Intel Xeon processor provides the performance needed for big data workloads on AWS at a lower cost than maintaining own infrastructure. Customer case studies show how life sciences, log analytics, and social networking use big data on AWS powered by Intel Xeon to get results faster and cheaper than traditional methods.
