BIG DATA NAMED THE #2 BUZZ WORD OF 2012
Most simply, it’s a way to describe the crazy amount of data generated these days. Information is churned out in racing streams by everything from social networks to weather balloons: we live in an era of big data.
More than 90%

BIG DATA TRANSFORMS BUSINESS
One quadrillion bytes. 1 PB = 1,000,000,000,000,000 B,
350,000 digital pictures, or a mile-long stretch of beach.
One quintillion bytes. 1 EB = 1,000,000,000,000,000,000 B,
half the information generated worldwide in 1999, or a beach from Maine to North Carolina.
One sextillion bytes. 1 ZB = 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 B,
unimaginable, or a beach as big as all the coastlines in the world.
We live in a world of Big Data, where ever-increasing quantities of information are measured in petabytes, exabytes, and zettabytes.
Businesses, governments, and other organizations must now deal with huge amounts of structured data—banking transactions, airline reservations, customer information, patient records, and more—as well as increasing amounts of unstructured data from tweets, texts, smartphone photos, Facebook posts, and other social media content.

BIG DATA PRESENTS BIG OPPORTUNITIES
Big Data enables businesses to identify new and better ways to interact, innovate, and improve, distancing themselves from competitors. But traditional technology approaches and architectures can’t support Big Data’s volume, variety, and velocity.
EMC offers a comprehensive Big Data solution with:
EMC PROTECTS DATA
By making sure that:
Data is not lost or leaked. In the last 3 years, 5 billion files have been analyzed.
Critical data can be recovered. 100 petabytes of data are backed up by EMC.
You really are who you say you are when shopping or banking online.
More than 40 million transactions by 19+ million card users are protected every month.
Currently, less than a third of the world’s data is properly protected.
EMC ANALYZES DATA
While some might see the proliferation and use of Big Data as an intrusion into personal privacy, there’s plenty of evidence to show that Big Data can play a significant role in empowering consumers to make better purchasing decisions, and in helping organizations to manage their operations more efficiently.
EMC helps businesses perform 2.3 trillion complex analytical queries every year...
...while customers for EMC’s data analysis have increased their data volumes by 300% each year.
