The Big Data market grows, so does the demand for

skilled workers. Companies today realize the value of

data and analytics and, as a result, they are looking for

skilled people to comprehend this data and make sense
of it. Job portals like Indeed, Dice, Glassdoor and many
more provide a clear picture about the demand for Big
Data jobs. Although Big Data is a broad term, it is a
commonly used term in job listings, along with data
analysts, data scientists and other important roles within
the data industry.

According to Wanted Analytics, a best practice insight

and technology company, the Big Data skill was
mentioned 112,469 times in the first six months of 2015,
representing an increase of a 118% over the previous
year. Like Big Data, Hadoop is also an extremely broad
area. It was mentioned 31,274 times in the first six
months of the year and is growing faster with a 118%
growth rate.

Introduction of Big Data:

Big data is a term for data sets that are so large or complex
that traditional data processing applications are
inadequate. Challenges include analysis, capture, data
curation, search, sharing, storage, transfer, visualization,
querying, updating and information privacy. The term
often refers simply to the use of predictive analytics, user
behavior analytics, or certain other advanced data analytics
methods that extract value from data, and seldom to a
particular size of data set. Accuracy in big data may lead to
more confident decision making, and better decisions can
result in greater operational efficiency, cost reduction and
reduced risk.
Big data usually includes data sets with sizes beyond the
ability of commonly used software tools to capture, curate,
manage, and process data within a tolerable elapsed time.
Big data "size" is a constantly moving target, as of 2012
ranging from a few dozen terabytes to many petabytes of
data. Big data requires a set of techniques and technologies
with new forms of integration to reveal insights from
datasets that are diverse, complex, and of a massive scale.

Analysis of data sets can find new correlations to "spot

business trends, prevent diseases, combat crime and so on.
Scientists, business executives, practitioners of medicine,
advertising and governments alike regularly meet
difficulties with large data sets in areas including Internet
search, finance and business informatics. Scientists
encounter limitations in e-Science work, including
meteorology, genomics, connectomics, complex physics
simulations, biology and environmental research.

Data sets are growing rapidly in part because they are

increasingly gathered by cheap and numerous
information-sensing mobile devices, aerial (remote
sensing), software logs, cameras, microphones, radiofrequency identification (RFID) readers and wireless sensor

networks. The world's technological per-capita capacity to

store information has roughly doubled every 40 months
since the 1980s as of 2012; every day 2.5 exabytes
(2.51018) of data is created. One question for large
enterprises is determining who should own big data
initiatives that affect the entire organization.

Applications of Big Data:

Big Data for financial services: Credit card companies,
retail banks, private wealth management advisories,
insurance firms, venture finds, and institutional
investment banks use big data for their financial
services. The common problem among them all is the
massive amounts of multi structured data living in
multiple disparate systems which can be solved by big
data. Thus big data is used in a number of ways like:
Customer analytics
Compliance analytics
Fraud analytics
Operational analytics

 Big Data in communications: Gaining new

subscribers, retaining customers, and expanding
within current subscriber bases are top priorities for
telecommunication service providers. The solutions to
these challenges lie in the ability to combine and
analyze the masses of customer generated data and
machine generated data that is being created every
day.
Big Data for Retail: Brick and Mortar or an online etailer, the answer to staying the game and being
competitive understands the customer better to serve
them. This requires the ability to analyze all the
disparate data sources that companies deal with every
day, including the weblogs, customer transaction data,
social media, store branded credit card data, and
loyalty program data.

Courses by Xebia Training for Big Data:

1. Cloudera Designing and Building Big Data

Applications:
Xebia's four-day course from 1st Sep to 4th Sep for
designing and building Big data applications prepares
you to analyze and solve real-world problems using
Apache Hadoop and associated tools in the enterprise
data hub (EDH). You will work through the entire
process of designing and building solutions, including
ingesting data, determining the appropriate file
format for storage, processing the stored data, and
presenting the results to the end-user in an easy-todigest form. Go beyond Map Reduce to use additional
elements of the EDH and develop converged
applications that are highly relevant to the business.
