Abstract

When we talk about large data, we need to address the basic concepts to understand the nature of large data. Technical professionals, technicians and business owners need to understand different types of large data components, basic technology, and concepts that support big data. The vast amount of data being produced, stored and made available from multiple sites is a major source of knowledge. These 'massive data', if properly managed, it will make an important contribution to UAE's continued economic and social development. This paper aims to enhance public and private sector awareness of the challenges and opportunities presented by large data and to influence policy development processes and delivery of services in UAE.
