Abstract

Big Data is data that either is too large, grows too fast, or does not fit into traditional architectures. Within such data can be valuable information that can be discovered through data analysis. With the emergence of cloud computing services, big data processing has become a less costly task. In this paper, we examine the current trends and characteristics of Big Data, its analysis and how these are presenting challenges in data collection, storage and management in cloud computing.
