Big Data: Growing pressure on global storage by data created on Social Networking Sites

Big Data: Growing pressure on global storage by data created on Social Networking Sites, Dr. Riyazuddin Qureshi, Yahya Mohammad AlManna & Dr Anwar Pasha Deshmukh.

  • “World-wide business organizations irrespective of their sizes, non-profit organizations and government agencies are witnessing Tsunami of data. Data creation is rewriting its record every day. In 2010; total data generated by the world was recorded over 1ZB. Studies estimate that this figure would reach up to 7ZB by the end of year 2014. Generation of such a huge volume of data may be attributed to a remarkable increase of installations and use of network including embedded sensor to monitor load, temperatures, locations, traffic patterns, etc. coupled with growing use of smartphones, and tablet computers. The amount of data being created, transferred and accumulated every second is a cause of concern as it is constantly putting on pressure on the infrastructure. This study is an attempt to highlight the growing amount of data being created for the sake of fun and entertainment. Similarly, it lays emphasis on explaining the additional burden on infrastructure being caused by fake and fabricated data created on social networking sites and online dating sites. The burden such data is adding to the cost of maintenance and analysis is the core issue of this study. This study is completely based on secondary data.”
