What is Big Data?

Big Data refers to data sets so large, fast or complex that traditional processing tools cannot handle them – characterised by Volume, Velocity and Variety – enabling analysis of years of operational data from large facility portfolios.

Technical Definition: A collective term for data sets so large, fast or complex that traditional processing tools cannot handle them. Characterised by the “3 Vs”: Volume (size), Velocity (speed of generation) and Variety (different formats). Big Data technologies enable storage and analysis of years of operational data from facilities.

Why it matters: A large property portfolio generates enormous data volumes. Big Data tools enable deep trend analysis, anomaly detection and energy benchmarking across hundreds of buildings simultaneously.

HubMind’s view: Big Data is only valuable if the underlying data quality is high. Before investing in analytics platforms, we help you ensure your facility data is correctly structured and consistently tagged.
