Question

Difference between traditional file processing and database

Answer 1

Traditional database system requires complex and expensive hardware and software in order to manage large amount of data.  Also moving the data from one system to another requires more number of hardware and software resources which increases the cost significantly. While in case of big data as the massive amount of data is segregated between various systems, the amount of data decreases. So use of big data is quite simple, makes use of commodity hardware and open source software to process the data (CINNER et al. 2009).
