3. #2
* Big Data is always about social
media, doesn't apply to me.
It just so happens that gathering
social media's data is the easiest
thing to do and therefore in lots of
use cases or example use cases of
Big Data you will find the social
media data, but that doesn't mean
that it's limited to social media.

* Big Data will replace EDW
[Enterprise data warehouse]
No, enterprise data warehousing is
good for the relation data,
transactional data and most of the
Big data tool since being in the
distributed nature they are not great
with the enterprise warehouse.

need any more.
No, the whole premise of Big data is

high-end servers, average computers
can be used.ReachUs@CloudxLab.com
