Comparative Study of Big Data Computing and Storage Tools: A Review

As a result of tremendous rise in internet usage like social media and forums, mail systems, scholarly and research articles, daily online transactions from multiple sources like health care systems, meteorological and environmental organizations etc., the data collected has shoot up exponentially. This vast collection of data, called Big Data, has caused the traditional tools incompetent for managing it from either of storage, computing or analytical perspective. There is an immense need of architectures, platforms, tools, techniques and algorithms to handle Big Data. The available technologies deal with two broad aspects related to Big Data that are Big Data Storage Management and Big Data Computing, focused to overcome various challenges such as scalability, faster processing speed, multiple format data processing, availability, faster response time and analytics etc. This paper reviews recent trends of storage and computing tools with their relative capabilities, limitations and environment they are suitable to work with.
