2. Introduction
• The rapid growth of information within the United Arab
Emirates has changed how organizations operate and make
decisions. Big data and Hadoop play a vital role in enabling
companies to efficiently store, process, and analyze large
datasets, leading to valuable insights and improved decision-
making.
• Understanding these technologies is crucial for managing data
and making informed decisions in a country like the UAE.
4. Big data refers to a large amount of
complex data that traditional data
management technologies cannot handle
efficiently.
5. Characteristics of Big Data
• Volume: Large quantity of data, typically ranging from
terabytes to petabytes.
• Variety: Data available in various forms, from
unstructured to structured types.
• Velocity: Importance of timely analysis and processing
of data.
• Veracity: Quality of data captured impacting precision
in analyses.
• Value: When data inconsistency sets in, it complicates
the management and handling procedures.
6. Big Data Value
• Importance: Big data holds significant value for organizations in
gaining insights, making informed decisions, and improving
operational efficiency.
• Applications: Utilized in various industries like retail, healthcare,
and marketing for personalized customer experiences and data-
driven innovations.
• Benefits: Uncovering hidden patterns, deriving actionable insights,
and driving data-driven innovation for competitive advantage.
7. Hadoop
• Definition: Hadoop is an open-source framework for storing,
processing, and analyzing large datasets across distributed
computing clusters.
• Importance: Crucial for handling big data, enabling companies to
make data-driven decisions and gain insights for better choices.
• Features: Scalability, low cost, high computing power, huge storage
capacity, and flexibility in processing structured and unstructured
data.
8. Advantages
