Accelerated use of “big data technology”
Expanding of storage capacity of information has been rapidly accelerating in recent years. The global amount of information recorded 2.8 zettabyte in the year 2012 is resumed to be reached 40 zettabyte in the year 2020, as the amount has been doubling every two years.
※The zettabyte indicates multiplication by the seventh power of 1000 or 1021 in the International System of Units (SI).
There was a time in the past that the person who obtained limited and particular information had monopolized the market. This fact indicates how precious element the information in the business is.
Currently, “big data”, the aggregation of enormous and complicated information, is attracting public attention. If, obtaining limited and particular information enables to control market, the clues to obtain such control should be buried in big data. However, confirming the accuracy of the obtained information may not be easy, even objective information is gained, as current technologies or means of processing are not possible to manage such enormous amount of data. Picking up only-one accurate information out of such enormous amount of information is like a treasure hunt in vast empty desert, and besides, simply relying on the experience could not lead business to success nor lead to follow the business today.
Then, what is the way to break through current circumstances and obtain effective information?
