Big Data: The Future of Data Storage

According to Internet World statistics, todayInternet has 1.7 Billion users, compared with the population of 6.7 billion people.Around 40% of the world population is connected via internet across the globe.By 2020 it is predicted, former will shoot to 5 billion users. Services are rapidly growing on the Internet, generating huge volume of Data likewise, trace logs, service information andtheir respective relationshipsetc. So, there is an urging need to gather such massive amount of Data. This is where the term-”Big Data”comes intopicture. Big data is a catch-phrase or a buzzword, used to describe a massive volume of both structured and unstructured data too large to be processed and handled using traditional database andsoftware technique. Considering, the volume of Data in context and its heterogeneity, its analysis is challenging. Focus of this paper is to do in depth survey as to what exactly is the upcoming technology -Big Data. ALiterature survey has been done to gather information of what has been done in the world of big data so far, present developments in it and the future of data storage under Big Data. The Data sources used for Big-Data analytics in the operational world simplydo not fit into desktop or small-scale database structures and therefore can be hosted using cloud concepts, to achieve this techniques are discussedas to how it is mined more efficiently, with on-premises database architectures.BigData is not a mere term, it’s a concern now.
