Digital communication has become the core of voice and data exchange with companies developing business models around the buzz called big data. Quite a catch phrase in the IT industry, it is a term that refers to a colossal volume of data, both structured and unstructured. Such voluminous data is usually difficult to manage with the use of traditional software techniques. Data of commercial enterprises are normally huge and the move really fast, which often demands more than the current processing capacity. Big data is thus the next best solution for improved operations in companies that deal with massive business data.
