Big Data

  Apache Hadoop is a software that distributes data around several computing environments, they have something called the HDFS (Hadoop Distributed File System). This is the section that stores all the data across the machines. YARN allocates resources such as the CPU. Read more here Introduction to Hadoop - GeeksforGeeks. Delta La kes is an open-source storage system which is optimi zed for m ore of a table use. This software allows any saved data to be restored and seen. They pride themselves in their simple and ease of use and data corruption protection. Data can also be automatically updated for ease of use. HPPC Systems utilize big data which attempts the same as the others, high performance and stability is provided. The security is all displayed on the website such as end-to-end encryption and an authentication built in support.   

  Big data is essential to crime prevention, from the rate of crime and even analysing the people to most likely to commit a crime in an area. Targeted crime is also an aspect, who is most likely to be victimised. To keep people safe, patrolling hot spots of crime is essential especially late-night weekends which is known due to the data gathered at those times. Even tracking those with previously known convictions and even places with high drug and alcohol use. Even analysing where people could acquire drugs through deals. In creasing police presence and CCTV would provide with more information. Opportunities for crime also should be looked upon. With increased police presence, offenders would be wary to continue their crime and hopefully stop and this would have a knock-on effect within the area. Even highly targeted shops should have security, or a patrol car stationed, safety for civilians and the police reputation increases causing more trust among the community .  

  With recent changes in the bus routes in Scotland, data had to be analysed to confirm the most used and least used place s . Transport due to this had to be changed, some services were cut due to less use while the popular routes had more services targeted towards them. This has now improved the service by becoming reliable and cost effective for both the company and customers. Another sector is police analysis, some places are targeted with crime while others can be quiet. Response times due to this would be targeted at the place with higher rate of crime while places with minimal crime would not have as much police presence. Lastly, local government . They have m any opportunities however the volume of rubbish laying around is often monitored . Due to this, more bins are placed around to ensure no more waste gets left around or so one would hope.  

  As good as data could help professionals, this can also cause more phone calls rather than having a physical one to one with a doctor. Doctors could even get replaced if the records become accurate enough to replicate a diagnosis. One other factor, privacy. There was a data breach within the NHS not too long ago which caused a lot of money being lost and records unrecoverable. This was a huge data breach which goes against the code of conduct, if they wanted to assure this would not happen again, the doctors and hospitals would have to upgrade their cyber security and that means more resources spent overall . With the use of more electronic technology, all employees would have to sign a computer misuse act to comply with the standards within the code of ethics. With the increase of data, this would have to be stores somewhere safe and secure and that causes more resources and time to be distr ibuted.  

  With advancements in healthcare, big data could assist people in everyday life. With apps such as ancestry, this website takes do wn family data and can lead back...who knows how many years. With this, your genetic makeup is made up and if you send in a DNA sample to ancestry. They put your DNA in record, there is even a section whe re you can get sent illnesses you could catch due to your genetic make-up. This data could even gather those with similar b lood types , especially rare ones in a database so if one gets injured, they have compatibility at the touch of a button. Same can be said for transfusions. With the gathering of information with di a gnosis of several illnesses, this is made easier with big data . When people get an injury, information is filed away no matter how big or small. This c an caus e accurate diagnosis and even allow doctors to have records easily accessible through electronics.  

  Big data is vital to every company ever made due to being able to analyse their customer base and their buying patterns. This can predict the sales direc tion and their intentions when accessing the website. Within their viewing, companies can process how long a person remains on the site and what products are mostly browsed. With that, they know what to display such as cooling items in summer. A snow shovel in summer? That is almost unheard of, this is why production of items would slow down since there is no need for th is item during a warm season . These decisions are finalised through data collected , data also helps to understand what each and individual customer has interests in. Another example, when at the end of ordering online; companies can often suggest what else to buy at the checkout to entice the customer to buy more. Another aspect of data, when someone buys an item but wishes for more features, they can leave a review which causes the company to improve upon t...
