The challenges of big data are three-fold: data volume, data velocity, and data type variety. Big Data requires storage that not only scales but is flexible enough to handle a wide range of workloads ranging from real-time data processing and analytics to content delivery and “cold” data storage. With the ability to scale to exabytes, to be distributed across a network, its programmability and automation, LizardFS is an ideal solution for big data workloads.
