Abstract

Big data has drawn huge attention from researchers and policy and decision makers in governments and enterprises. As the speed of information growth exceeded Moore’s law at the beginning of this new century, excessive data is making great troubles to businesses and organizations. Nevertheless, great potential and highly useful value are hidden in the huge volume of data. Throughout this chapter, we will discuss the main big data architectures that help coping with the above challenges. These architectures are technology-independent reference architectures that generalize published implementation architectures of big data use cases. This chapter is of value for academics, practitioners, and entrepreneurs alike. The analysis of existing reference architectures and success cases will facilitate architecture design, and the selection of most suitable technologies or commercial solutions, when constructing big data systems.
