Storage of More Data

The three main storage of big data are:

It accesses the risk-free ability to all suitable data regardless of data formats, sources as well as a storage area. 

-> Speed: 

In order to increase its speed, a storage infrastructure requires low latency abilities and the capability to quickly scale up, inside and outside.

The efficiency is based on computerized policy engines as well as analytics-driven data for managing and preserve data in the appropriate place.
