Big Data: Big data storage and processing is the key to the future of business
In today's world, the amount of data is growing at an incredible rate. Millions of users generate information every second, from online shopping to watching videos and interacting with social media. Companies that know how to competently store and analyze Big Data gain a powerful competitive advantage.
But how to efficiently process such a volume of information? What technologies are used? And most importantly, which server solutions will help your business cope with this task? Let's figure it out!
What is Big Data and why is it important?
Big Data is arrays of data that are too voluminous and complex to process using traditional methods. They are characterized by three key aspects (3V):
Volume – terabytes, petabytes, and even exabytes of information.
Velocity – the data is received in real time and requires instant processing. Therefore, the servers on which this information is processed should be as powerful as possible.
Variety can be text files, images, audio, video, data from IoT devices, and more.
Examples of using Big Data:
- Analysis of user behavior in e-commerce (product recommendations, dynamic pricing, finding the optimal price depending on purchases).
- Optimization of marketing campaigns (personalized advertising, prediction of customer needs).
- Financial sector (anti-fraud, risk analysis, algorithmic trading).
- Healthcare (analysis of medical data for the diagnosis of diseases).
- Logistics (optimization of delivery routes, forecasting demand).
How is Big Data stored and processed?
To work effectively with big data, powerful server solutions and specialized processing technologies are needed. For example, in order to store and process data, we can provide Storage servers that store up to 96 TB of HDD.
Big Data Storage
To store large amounts of data, companies use:
Cloud Storage – allows you to scale without having to buy expensive equipment. This is a very profitable solution for companies, both large and small, because it is always possible to increase storage.
Data Lakes are storage systems for "raw" data that can be analyzed in the future.
Distributed File Systems (HDFS, Ceph) are distributed file systems that provide reliability and speed.
Big Data Processing
Key technologies for data processing:
- Hadoop is a platform for distributed data processing on server clusters.
- Apache Spark is a fast framework for real–time data analysis. By the way, we shot a video about installing Apache Spark and you can view it here
. - Elasticsearch is a powerful tool for searching and analyzing large amounts of information.
- TensorFlow / PyTorch are neural network frameworks for data analysis using AI.
Why is server capacity important?
Big Data requires powerful computing resources. Simple servers cannot handle huge loads, so companies use
Dedicated Servers for high performance and complete isolation of resources.
GPU servers – accelerated data processing for AI and neural networks.
NVMe storage – fast disks for instant data processing. However, sometimes you have to use HDDs due to their cheapness, but because of this, the speed suffers.
Cloud solutions – the ability to scale flexibly without unnecessary costs. A more acceptable option is for companies that do not have the funds to spend on purchasing a large number of disks and those who need constant scaling.
