Abstract

Nowadays there is a lot of information that can be very useful. The problem is that sometimes we do not know how to manipulate the information, and understand what we can find in this information. In 1965, the United States built its first data center with the objective of storing a little more than 742 million tax documents and 175 million data from its citizens. They used magnetic storage to get the job done. Later, in 10 years, as much data as possible has been created, being impossible to control ormonitor. Today 1.6% of Internet's traffic is and analyzed. That is around 30 petabytes per day. It is estimated that by the year 2020, 40 Zettabytes of data will be produced each day. We can say that we have reached the information age where information is the oil of the future. There are many benefits in companies such as productivity, efficiency and profitability due to the properly use of information. The future will be about analytical predictions, building better forecasts. This will turn into strategies to take actions faster and satisfy any need.
