Usefulness of Big Data:

1. Cloud computing with a Deep integration. Big data can not be separated from the cloud processing, cloud processing for big data provides an elastic and expandable infrastructure, is one of the platforms to generate big data.

Since 2013, big data technology has begun to closely integrate with cloud computing technology, and it is expected that the relationship between the two will be even closer in the future. In addition, the Internet of Things (IoT), mobile Internet and other emerging forms of computing will also come together to help the big data revolution, allowing big data marketing to play a greater impact.

2, breakthroughs in scientific theory. With the rapid development of big data, just like computers and the Internet, big data is likely to be a new round of technological revolution. It may change a lot of algorithms and basic theories in the data world, realizing breakthroughs in science and technology.
