Data Ingestion Nightmares: Common Pitfalls and How to Avoid Them for Better Data Quality Control
Managing increasing data is crucial for organizations in the era of big data. Data ingestion is an important step in...
As people and businesses become more connected, data sources multiply (and grow continuously), increasing vast amounts of data. In order to gain value (meaning) from the data, computing power must increase with the volume of data.
Increasingly, businesses have stringent requirements from the time data is generated, to the time actionable insights are delivered to the users. Therefore, data needs to be collected, stored, processed, and analyzed within relatively short windows – ranging from daily to real-time.
A greater variety of data sources means a greater variety of data formats (e.g., web logs, social media interactions, eCommerce and online transactions, financial transactions, etc.) Different data formats make it more difficult to derive value (meaning) from the data since it must all be extracted and processed differently.
One of the biggest challenges posed by big data is its veracity. Veracity refers to the accuracy and trustworthiness of the data that is being collected and analyzed. Big data can be extremely complex, making it difficult to verify its accuracy. This can lead to incorrect conclusions being drawn from the analysis, resulting in poor decision-making.
Most big data technologies require large clusters of servers resulting in long provisioning and setup cycles. With AWS, we can deploy your big data infrastructure almost instantly, allowing your teams to be more productive, try new things, and roll out projects sooner.
Big data workloads are as varied as the data assets they intend to analyze. A broad and deep platform means you can build virtually any big data application and support any workload regardless of volume, velocity, and variety of data. AWS provides everything you need to collect, store, process, analyze, and visualize big data on the cloud.
Big data is sensitive data. Therefore, securing your data assets and protecting your infrastructure without losing agility is critical. AWS provides capabilities across facilities, network, software, and business processes to meet the strictest requirements.
