The digital information that goes around the Internet grows exponentially with time. The data is large, complex, and very difficult to manage. Companies, institutions, healthcare systems, social media, etc., all need these massive amounts of data for creating reports, queries, and further use. Traditional RDBMS tools cannot manage these unstructured and large volume of data efficiently. It is a challenge for software professionals and companies that provide IT infrastructure. Handling and delivering Big Data demands breakthrough algorithmic computational solutions.
