Abstract :
Today, we live in a digital universe in which information and technology are not only around us but also play important roles in dictating the quality of our lives. As we delve deeper into this digital universe, we´re witnessing explosive growth in the variety, velocity, and volume of data1,2 being transmitted over the Internet. A zetabyte of data passed through the Internet in the past year; IDC predicts that this digital universe will explode to an unimaginable eight Zbytes by 2015. These data are and will be generated mainly from Internet search, social media, mobile devices, the Internet of Things, business transactions, next-generation radio astronomy telescopes, high-energy physics synchrotron, and content distribution. Government and business organizations are now overflowing with data, easily aggregating to terabytes or even petabytes of information.
