Big data technology refers to the ability to quickly obtain valuable information from various types of data. Technologies applicable to big data include massively parallel processing (MPP) databases, data mining grids, distributed file systems, distributed databases, cloud computing platforms, the Internet, and scalable storage systems.
What is the role of big data?
1. The processing and analysis of big data is becoming the node of the new generation of information technology integration and application. Mobile Internet, Internet of Things, social networks, digital homes, e-commerce, etc. are the application forms of the new generation of information technology, and these applications continue to generate big data. Cloud computing provides storage and computing platforms for these massive and diverse big data. Through the management, processing, analysis and optimization of data from different sources, and feeding the results back to the above applications, huge economic and social value will be created. Big data has the power to catalyze social change. But unleashing this energy requires rigorous data governance, insightful data analysis, and an environment that inspires management innovation.
2. Big data is the new engine for the sustained and rapid growth of the information industry. New technologies, new products, new services, and new business formats for the big data market will continue to emerge. In the field of hardware and integrated equipment, big data will have an important impact on the chip and storage industries, and will also give rise to integrated data storage and processing servers, memory computing and other markets. In the field of software and services, big data will trigger the development of rapid data processing and analysis, data mining technology and software products.
3. Big data utilization will become a key factor in improving core competitiveness. Decision-making in all walks of life is changing from "business-driven" to "data-driven". The analysis of big data can enable retailers to grasp market dynamics in real time and respond quickly; it can provide decision-making support for merchants to formulate more accurate and effective marketing strategies; it can help companies provide consumers with more timely and personalized services; in medical In the field of public services, big data can improve diagnostic accuracy and drug effectiveness; in the public sector, big data has also begun to play an important role in promoting economic development and maintaining social stability.
4. The methods and methods of scientific research in the era of big data will undergo major changes. For example, sample survey is a basic research method in social sciences. In the era of big data, the massive behavioral data generated by research objects on the Internet can be mined and analyzed through real-time monitoring and tracking, revealing regularities and proposing research conclusions and countermeasures.
Although big data was born from information and communication technology, its impact on society, economy, and life is by no means limited to the technical level. More essentially, it provides a new way for us to look at the world, in which decision-making behavior will increasingly be based on data analysis, rather than relying more on experience and intuition as in the past.
