THE Vs OF BIG DATA THERE ARE 3 Vs MOST COMMONLY ASSOCIATED WITH BIG DATA - DENNY LEE ADDS A FOURTH - ''VARIABILITY'	IT'S NOT SIMPLY UNSTRUCTURED DATA BIG DATA IS AN ECOSYSTEM OF TOOLS TO MOVE BEYOND THE RELATIONAL WORLD TO SOLVE PROBLEMS THAT ALIGN MORE CLOSELY TO THE QUESTION THAT IS ASKED	VALUE OPPORTUNITIES BUSINESSES OF ANY SIZE FACE THE SAME CHALLENGES AND NEED THE SAME CLASS OF INFORMATION
DIMENSIONS AND ANGLES MAKING BETTER DECISIONS AND GETTING BETTER GUIDANCE OUT OF DATA IN AND AROUND THEIR BUSINESS...	GETTING RELEVANT DATA TARGETED DATA FOR TARGETED ANALYSIS	BEYOND THE AVERAGE DATA TARGETED, VALUE RICH DATA LIKE NEVER BEFORE - DISCOVERING THE POWER HIDDEN IN TRANSACTIONAL DATA
	CERN IN THE 1960S THE DAWN OF MACHINE GENERATED DATA - IN THE 1960'S SCIENTISTS WERE FORCED TO TRAVEL TO THE DATA TO DO THEIR ANALYSIS	HYBRID ENVIRONMENTS RELATIONAL, NON-RELATIONAL AND DISTRIBUTED ENVIRONMENTS WORKING TOGETHER ARE THE FUTURE OF BIG DATA
	CHEAPER AND FASTER MASSIVE AMOUNTS OF DATA IS GENERATED, STORED AND ANALYZED FASTER AND CHEAPER THAN EVER BEFORE	MORE TOOLS - SHARED KNOWLEDGE MORE TOOLS IN YOUR BAG, BREAKTHROUGHS IN MACHINE LEARNING AND SOCIALIZATION OF MINING TECNIQUES USED TO SOLVE DATA DISTRIBUTION AND PROCESSING ISSUES

	LOTS OF PLAYERS FIGHTING FOR A PIECE OF THE BIG DATA PIE - MAJORS AND STARTUPS VYING FOR POSITION; VENDORS ARE EMBRACING NEW TECHNOLOGIES; NEW BIG DATA SERVICES COME ONLINE ON A DAILY BASIS	WE ARE EXPERIENCING THE BIRTH OF A NEW INDUSTRY - EVERYONE IS SCRAMBLING TO ESTABLISH THEMSELVES AS A LEADER IN THE PRODUCTION, CONSUMPTION, AND UTILIZATION OF THE NEW DATA SOURCES
	AN ESTIMATED 40% OF THE $500 BILLION SPENT ON ADVERTISING EVERY YEAR IS WASTED - CLOUD SERVICES AND DATA STORES ENABLE FAIL FAST RESEARCH AT MINIMAL COST AND THEREFORE VIRTUALLY NO RISK	THE AGILE NATURE OF BIG DATA IS THE GOLDEN EGG - THE ABILITY TO COMPLETELY CHANGE DIRECTIONS WITHOUT INCURRING THE STANDARD UP FRONT COSTS OF RELATIONAL SYSTEMS ENABLES A BROADER RANGE OF “WHAT IF” ANALYSIS WITH LITTLE OR NO PENALTY
	EASE OF IMPLEMENTATION BELIES THE PITFALLS OF INACCURATE DATA MODELING - IT MAY STILL TAKE AN EXPERT TO FORMULATE QUESTIONS WHOSE ANSWERS ACTUALLY SOLVE THE INTENDED PROBLEM	WE ARE AT THE BEGINNING STAGES OF GETTING SIGNIFICANT VALUE OUT OF BIG DATA - EVERY RUSH TO ADOPTION A BIG DATA SOLUTION IS AN INVITATION FOR DISASTER WITHOUT PROPER OVERSIGHT AND VALIDATION AND TESTING OF RESULTS
	THE PIONEERS AND EARLY ADOPTERS HAVE PAID THE PRICE BUT GAINED THE - EXPERIENCE THE GAINS FOR THE MASSES THAT ARE ADOPTING NOW ARE SECURED BY THE WINS AND LOSSES OF THE LEADERS. HOWEVER, THERE IS STILL HUGE OPPORTUNITY FOR ANYONE THAT “GETS IT RIGHT”
HADOOP HAS COME OF AGE THE CORE PLATFORM IS STABLE - IS RUNNING ON THOUSANDS OF MACHINE - AND HAS HUNDREDS OF COMPANIES INVESTING THEIR RESOURCES TO MAKE IT BETTER - IMPROVE CAPABILITIES AND PERFORMANCE - AND OFFER THEIR OWN SERVICES AND PLUG-INS.	PRIMARY COMPONENTS OF THE HADOOP ECOSYSTEM - THERE ARE LITERALLY HUNDREDS OF ADD-ONS TO THE CORE HADOOP PLATFORM WHICH IMPROVE ITS SPEED, PERFORMANCE, AND MAINTAINABILITY.	STRENGTH IMPROVES WHILE WEAKNESSES ARE DIMINISHING.
	THE MICROSOFT IMPLEMENTATION OF HADOOP
THE PROJECTIONS ARE EVERY BIT AS BIG AS THE DATA WE ARE DISCUSSING - DIRECT AND SUPPORTING SKILLS ARE IN VERY HIGH DEMAND AND VERY SHORT SUPPLY	I BELIEVE THERE IS A HUGE MISUNDERSTANDING OF THE BIG DATA SKILL REQUIREMENTS - MANY BUSINESSES ARE STILL FAIRLY PRIMITIVE IN THEIR USE OF THEIR OWN DATA INDICATING THERE IS ROOM FOR ANYONE WITH SUFFICIENT INTEREST TO TRAIN AND SECURE A PLACE IN THE BIG DATA EXPLOSION
