Historical development of big data



 2.Give a description of the historical development of big data


90% of the available data has been created in the last two years. , The earliest records of using data to track and control businesses date back from 7.000 years ago when accounting was introduced in Mesopotamia in order to record the growth of crops and herds. 

 

 

 

This is the historical timeline of Big Data:

 

 

 

1943 – The UK developed the first data-processing machine to decipher Nazi codes.

 

1945 – ENIAC, the first electronic general purpose computer, was completed.

 

1954 – The first fully transistorised computer used all transistors and diodes and no vacuum tubes.

 

1964 – The IBM System/360 family of mainframe computer systems was launched.

 

1971 – Intel’s 4004 became the first general purpose programmable processor.

 

1973 – Xerox unveiled the first desktop system to include a graphical user interface and internal memory storage.

 

1977 – ARCnet introduced the first LAN at Chase Manhattan Bank, connecting 255 computers.

 

1981 – The PC era began.

 

1983 – IBM released its first commercially available relational database, DB2.

 

1989 – Implementation of the Python programming language began.

 

1998 – Carlo Strozzi developed NoSQL, an open-source relational database.

 

1999 – VMware began selling VMware Workstation, allowing users to set up virtual machines.

 

2002 – Amazon Web Services (AWS) launched as a free service.

 

2006 – AWS started offering web-based computing infrastructure services, now known as cloud computing.

 

2007 – Apple launched the first iPhone, creating the mobile internet as we know it today.

 

2010 – The first solutions for 100 Gigabit Ethernet were introduced.

 

2011 – Facebook launched the Open Compute Project to share specifications for energy efficient data centers.

 

2013 – Docker introduced open-source OS container software.

 

2015 – Google and Microsoft lead massive build outs of data centers.

 

2017 – Huawei and Tencent joined Alibaba in major data centre build-outs in China.

 

2018 – Leading data center operators started the migration to 400G data speeds.

 

2018 – Silicon photonics technology started to positively impact data center networking architectures.

 

2020 – Edge computing will revise the role of the cloud in key sectors of the economy.

 

2021 – Data center speeds expected to exceed 1,000G.

 

2025 – Data centers will be increasingly on-device.

Technical requirements of big data

2.       What are the technical requirements of big data? This data boom presents a massive opportunity to find new efficiencies, detect previously unseen patterns and increase levels of service to citizens, but Big Data analytics can’t exist in a vacuum. Because of the enormous quantities of data involved in these solutions, they must incorporate a robust infrastructure for storage, processing and networking, in addition to analytics software. 1.       Storage Solutions Often, organizations already possess enough storage in-house to support a Big Data initiative. (After all, the data that will be processed and analyzed via a Big Data solution is already living somewhere.) However, agencies may decide to invest in storage solutions that are optimized for Big Data. While not necessary for all Big Data deployments, flash storage is especially attractive due to its performance advantages and high availability.   2. Processing Power   Servers intended for Big Data analytics must have enoug

Limitations of traditional data analysis

 7 .      What are the limitations of traditional data analysis? Traditional statistics is about analysing and summarizing data, and suited to processing lesser amounts of linear, repeatable data to find a solution. It’s very useful in environments where data, and the relationships between the data, are relatively stable. It is still by far the most commonly used methodology and continues to be good for mid to long term forecasting based on prior sales history, where a few hundred or even fewer data points may generate a reasonable forecast. The important limitations of statistics are:   Statistics laws are true on average. Statistics are aggregates of facts, so a single observation is not a statistic. Statistics deal with groups and aggregates only. Statistical methods are best applicable to quantitative data. Statistics cannot be applied to heterogeneous data. If sufficient care is not exercised in collecting, analysing and interpreting the data, statistical results might be misleadi

Traditional data analysis

Image
 6 .      What is Traditional data analysis (descriptive and inferential)?          Traditional data is the structured data which is being majorly maintained by all types of businesses starting from very small to big organizations. In traditional database system a centralized database architecture used to store and maintain the data in a fixed format or fields in a file. For managing and accessing the data Structured Query Language (SQL) is used. 3 Characteristic of Traditional Data: ·        Traditional analytics is static.   Traditional data analytics typically relies on dashboards composed of visualizations. These dashboards are based on common business questions and are predefined well in advance.   ·        Traditional analytics answers “what.”   Traditional analytics answers a series of “what” questions and leaves the user to determine “why” through their own analyses.   ·        Traditional analytics is driven by hypotheses.   Dashboards are typically predefined based on common
