Our Selected Big Data Projects
Big Data Deployment: Cloud or On-Premises?
Nowadays, cloud deployment is the default option for big data: it’s cheaper and easier to set up, scale, and maintain. But let’s say you operate in a strictly regulated field and have a massive list of privacy requirements — if you need complete control over your data, you’d want to own the physical servers. And on the contrary, some app infrastructures are just too large or dynamic to maintain on your own. If you have unpredictable load spikes or a rapidly growing user base, it’s much safer — both financially and operationally — to let Microsoft or Amazon handle them. There are dozens of other essential factors that differ even between the largest cloud vendors (like data availability, processing speed, and redundancy), so the final choice will always depend on your particular needs.

Frequent Questions About Big Data Services, Answered
How much does big data implementation cost?
Big data implementation costs may vary from $200,000 to $3,000,000 for a mid-sized organization. The pricing depends on such factors as the number of data sources, data volume and complexity, data processing specifics (batch, real-time, or both), requirements for security and compliance, deployment model.
What are the types of big data?
There are three main types of big data:
- Structured data: it can be easily organized in tables, e.g., customer demographics data, financial transactions, and sales. Such data is easy to sort for further queries via BI tools.
- Unstructured data can't be organized into any logical structure until it is processed with complex technologies like AI, ML, natural language processing (NLP), and optical character recognition (OCR). The examples of unstructured data include texts, images, videos, and audio recordings. E.g., a company can apply NLP to customer social media posts to understand the sentiment towards the service.
- Semi-structured data is in between the two previous types. On the one hand, its elements can be assigned to certain fields or tags, but on the other hand, these elements are not always ready for querying or analytics. An example of semi-structured data can be an email with a subject line and a message body, where the line and the text will go to the correspondingly tagged fields and later be processed with techniques required for unstructured data.
What are the sources of big data?
Internal big data sources: customer-facing apps, ecommerce platforms, enterprise systems like CRM, ERP, EHR.
External big data sources: data from stock exchanges, banks, and credit companies, weather-forecasting services, online marketplaces, web tracking tools, GPS systems and traffic cameras, social media platforms, etc.
Is your data big?
The big data term is tricky, as it is seemingly limited to data volume. Your data can deserve the status due to many other factors. Take our simple quiz to find out!
Do you need to process unstructured data (e.g., texts, images, videos, audios)?
Does your data arrive constantly, at short intervals — up to every 10 minutes?
Should your data be processed as soon as it arrives?
Does your solution feature real-time functionality (e.g., immediate notifications to users, fraud detection alerts, automated IoT action triggers)?
Does your business experience constant data and user volume growth?
