The Big Data” as a term has been among the
biggest trends of the last three years, leading to an upsurge
of research, as well as industry and government applications.
As per the user demand and growth trends of large free
data, the storage solutions are now becoming challengeable
to protect, store and retrieve data. The days are not so far
when the storage companies and organizations will start
saying ‘no’ to store your valuable data or they will start
charging a huge amount for its storage and protection. The
flood of big data will lead to the zettabyte per year range
with in a little time period. The major attributes of big data
to be emphasized are volume, velocity, variety and veracity
and it always looks like that the storage issue will be
resolved in near future but it is a long duration challenge. In
this paper we have analyzed the growth trend of big data
and its future projection. We have also focused on the
impact of the unstructured data on various concerns and we
have also suggested some possible remedies to streamline big
data.

In this paper, we have analyzed the basic concept,
characteristics & need of Big Data. The impact of social
sites, private data and global warming factors are
discussed in this paper. Our analysis illustrate that the
growth trend of big data is because of unwanted and
unstructured data. The regular monitoring and regular
deletion of unwanted and duplicated data are few possible
solutions to control the growth rate of big data. Security,
storage, searching and environmental changes are the
biggest issues related with Big Data and they must be
handled carefully in order extract maximum benefit from
the big data.
