bringing a kind of “super visibility” to nearly every industry. Imagine utilities and telcos that can predict and prevent service outages, airlines that can remotely monitor and optimise plane performance, and healthcare organisations that can base treatment on real-time genome analysis. The business possibilities are endless.

In the past, storing it would’ve been a problem – but new technologies (such as Hadoop) have eased the burden. Velocity.  Data streams in at an unprecedented speed and must
