A pragmatic approach to Big Data by taking the reader on a journey between Big Data (what it is) and the Smart Data (what it is for).

Today’s decision making can be reached via information (related to the data), knowledge (related to people and processes), and timing (the capacity to decide, act and react at the right time). The huge increase in volume of data traffic, and its format (unstructured data such as blogs, logs, and video) generated by the “digitalization” of our world modifies radically our relationship to the space (in motion) and time, dimension and by capillarity, the enterprise vision of performance monitoring and optimization.

通过带领读者在大数据（它是什么）和智能数据（它是为了什么）之间的旅程，对大数据采取了务实的方法。

今天的决策可以通过信息（与数据有关）、知识（与人和流程有关）和时机（在正确的时间作出决定、行动和反应的能力）来达成。我们世界的 "数字化 "所产生的数据流量及其格式（非结构化数据，如博客、日志和视频）的巨大增长，从根本上改变了我们与空间（运动中）和时间、维度的关系，并通过毛细血管，改变了性能监控和优化的企业愿景。
