Forty trillion gigabytes. That’s the amount of data IDC predicts will be created by 2020. This growth is in part due to machines signing on to networks and the Internet. Machine Big Data is information processed by a digital machine or device operation. This type of information can seem overwhelming considering just how many machines or devices a company may have online or within an internal network. Companies set the parameters and schedule processing to record events and state changes. Capturing this information can provide amazing value for enterprises who know how to handle it.
