Big Data or Small Data? Here's Why You Need Both

Small things often come in big packages, and this is something that the enterprise world is starting to realise as it continues to adjust to the Big Data paradigm. Data analysis must be conducted before making strategic business decisions these days, and this analysis is likely to come from one of the many tools provided by the Big Data industry, a sector expected to generate sales more than $187 billion next year.

It is safe to assume that Big Data is here to stay; however, the enterprise focus is likely to shift towards reducing the size of the massive data sets being collected and processed for the purpose of perfecting the analysis and making even better decisions.

The 51-foot-long submersible is launched from a pier and can operate autonomously while sailing up to 6,500 nautical miles without being connected to a manned mother ship, according to the Navy.   In military spending terms, the versatility of the Orca at the price is “fairly unheard of in military spending,” according to an account in  The National Interest . The nearest equivalent was cited as the Navy’s Littoral Com
