Data in every form, at any scale, is going mainstream. No longer viewed as a liability and IT headache, data has become a focal point for executives. It is now viewed as capital, one of an organization's most valuable assets, due to its potential to provide business value.

Technology is also becoming more accessible – lower-cost processing and storage are only part of the story. Cloud delivery, consumer applications, and ubiquitous mobility have fundamentally altered how users engage with their data.

Users now expect even easier access to data that is vastly greater in volume and variety, and for the data to be current – hours or minutes old, rather than months or quarters – regardless of its size or rate of change. Read on to learn how to start meeting this challenge, and other big data obstacles, right now.
