Enterprises need to know how to get info out of big data. A successful business is the one that can manage and analyze big amount of data – we are talking about data that is in petabytes!
More often, companies have got big data, collected and stored in the data center, but have little knowledge of what to do with the data. It is recommended that every company must have a data plan even before the data is consolidated in the storage i.e. the cloud. They must also have a set of tools ready to be used within their systems in order to get business value out of the stored data. Some more steps that can be taken are: understand meta data, know which data to keep and turn it into business value, consider a performance plan. The bottom line is: Only make necessary investments in data.
