TB’s and PB’s and ZB’s of data that gets created:
2. Velocity:
The speed at which information flows.
Example: 50 Million tweets per day!
(This is back in Nov. of 2010 – the number must have increased!)
UPDATE 23 Nov 2012: on, wikipedia it says – 340 million tweets per day!
3. Variety:
All types of data is now being captured which may be in structured format or not.
Example: Text from PDF’s, Emails, Social network updates, voice calls, web traffic logs, sensor data, click streams, etc
And this may be followed by other V’s like V for Value.
