Every individual and company perceives the dimensions of big data a bit differently. Big data is not measured as 5 hard drives nor as 5 data barrels, neither is flow of data measured in litres. Big data is a mindset that forms the foundation for data-driven business. For mass data to be truly introduced to and used in business, one must first understand it. Only then can we expect business and technology to co-exist and deliver added value. In this article, I present all dimensions of big data (i.e., 5 V’s) and shed light on its use in practical examples. I also present the broader ecosystem of big data and the foundations for building an environment for big data.
