Hi,
After much research on Big Data I came up with one thought in defining the actual Big Data implementation terminology. What I would suggest is - instead of using the term Big Data for the data ranging anywhere from Giga Bytes to Zetta Bytes, why don't we split the terms based on the size of the data we are dealing with?
For example - If I say that I am providing the Big Data Service or I am working on Big Data the next question I get from others is what is the size that you are actually talking about. Is it in GB / TB / PB / EB / ZB? Here, instead of answering this question why don't we use the terms as follows:
1. Big Data - Data ranges from Giga Byte to Peta Bytes
2. Huge Data - Data ranges from Peta Bytes to Exa Bytes
3. Ultra Data - Data that is greater than Zetta bytes.
Any opinions on this are welcome.
Thanks,
