The second misnomer of big data is that it’s only about analytics — this, however, is only half the story. Without considering the system that stores the data in the first place, ana lytics would be impossible. I there fore see big data as two issues: big throughput and big analytics. The former includes the problems associ ated with storing and manipulating large amounts of data (in relation to the available resources, as men tioned) and the latter those concerned with transforming this data into knowledge. Even though we can’t always clearly distinguish the sys tems addressing these problems, it still helps to keep the concerns sepa rate when analyzing them.
