Big data refers to a collection of data that cannot be captured, managed and processed by conventional software tools within a certain time range. It is a massive, high-growth and diversified information asset, which needs a new processing mode to have stronger decision-making, insight and discovery, and process optimization ability.
Technically, the relationship between big data and cloud computing is as inseparable as the front and back of a coin. Big data cannot be processed by a single computer, and it must adopt a distributed architecture.
It is characterized by distributed data mining of massive data. But it must rely on the distributed processing of cloud computing, distributed database, cloud storage and virtualization technology.
