As Cimplifi discusses in this post, taming the modern data challenges of today requires organizations to understand the three Vs of Big Data today.

In their post titled (wait for it!) Taming Modern Data Challenges: The Three Vs of Big Data Today (available here), Cimplifi how the term “Big Data” was first coined in the 1990s by John Mashey, a computer scientist who worked at Silicon Graphics. The term gained widespread popularity in the early 2000s.

Of course, Big Data keeps on growing, faster than ever. Per Statista, the current estimate for the total amount of data created, captured, copied, and consumed globally is forecast to rise to 182 zettabytes (i.e., 182 billion terabytes) in 2025.

This estimate has now been forecasted to 2028. Between 2025 and 2028, data in the world is expected to more than double again to 394 zettabytes by 2028. This explosion of information has necessitated a paradigm shift in how businesses approach information governance, compliance, and eDiscovery.

But Big Data isn’t just about the amount of data. It’s about the three Vs of Big Data. As you can probably guess, “Volume” is one of the Vs. What are the other two? And what is the impact of the three Vs on eDiscovery today? Find out here, it’s only one click! Taming modern data challenges starts with a click! 😀

So, what do you think? How is your organization taming modern data challenges in eDiscovery? Please share any comments you might have or if you’d like to know more about a particular topic.
