Unleashing the Power of Big Data

What is Big Data?

Any behaviour where an is discriminated against, belittled, or threatened, by a colleague or someone senior, constitutes workplace harassment. This kind of harassment is also referred to as “workplace bullying” or “workplace aggression.” Unnecessary supervision, blocking promotions, and incessant criticism are all considered forms of workplace harassment.

Big data refers to extremely large and complex datasets that are difficult to process and analyze using traditional data processing techniques. It involves massive volumes of structured, semi-structured, and unstructured data generated from various sources such as social media, sensors, online transactions, and more.harassment The term "big data" encompasses three key aspects known as the three V's: volume, velocity, and variety. Volume refers to the sheer scale of data generated. Big data datasets can range from terabytes to petabytes or even larger, requiring specialized storage and processing systems to handle them effectively. Velocity represents the speed at which data is generated and needs to be processed. Big data often arrives in real-time or near real-time, making it essential to analyze and extract insights quickly to enable timely decision-making. Variety refers to the diverse nature of big data. It includes structured data (e.g., databases), semi-structured data (e.g., XML, JSON), and unstructured data (e.g., text, images, videos). Big data encompasses a wide range of data types and formats, requiring advanced techniques for extraction, transformation, and analysis.
