Big Data Introduction
Characteristics of Big Data
Challenges
Big Data Transmission Network
Big Data Network Future
Q/A
Who’s Generating Big Data
Mobile devices
(tracking all objects all the time)
Social media and networks
(all of us are generating data)
Scientific instruments
(collecting all sorts of data)
Sensor technology and
networks
(measuring all kinds of data)


The progress and innovation is no longer hindered by the ability to collect data
But, by the ability to manage, analyze, summarize, visualize, and discover knowledge
from the collected data in a timely manner and in a scalable fashion

How much data?
 Google processes 20 PB a day (2008)
 Wayback Machine has 3 PB + 100 TB/month (3/2009)
 Facebook has 2.5 PB of user data + 15 TB/day
(4/2009)
 eBay has 6.5 PB of user data + 50 TB/day (5/2009)
 CERN’s Large Hydron Collider (LHC) generates 15
PB a year
640K ought to be
enough for anybody.
Characteristics of Big Data:
1-Scale (Volume)
 Data Volume
 44x increase from 2009 2020
 From 0.8 zettabytes to 35zb
 Data volume is increasing exponentially
Exponential increase in
collected/generated data

Characteristics of Big Data:
2-Complexity (Varity)
 Various formats, types, and
structures
 Text, numerical, images, audio,
video, sequences, time series, social
media data, multi-dim arrays, etc…
 Static data vs. streaming data
 A single application can be
generating/collecting many types of
data
To extract knowledge all these types of
data need to linked together
6
Characteristics of Big Data:
3-Speed (Velocity)
 Data is begin generated fast and need to be
processed fast
 Online Data Analytics
 Late decisions  missing opportunities
 Examples
 E-Promotions: Based on your current location, your purchase history,
what you like  send promotions right now for store next to you
 Healthcare monitoring: sensors monitoring your activities and body
 any abnormal measurements require immediate reaction

Challenges
How to transfer Big Data?
Big Data Transmission
Data transmission with high-value-per-bit
 SONET/SDH (Synchronous Optical Network)
Lower-cost-per bit technologies
Carrier Ethernet.
Networking switching is moving rapidly to
10-40 Gbps
Big data requires big networks.
Big Data- Network
However Ethernet on its own is not
sufficient to handle the torrent of Big Data.
Network architectures also need to change
to become flatter and more flexible.
 Basic idea:
Push computing to data, not pushing
data to computing.
