<p>There&#8217;s no denying it. Everywhere you turn there&#8217;s an article or news story about how data is growing and either will or won&#8217;t &#8211; depending on the source &#8211; change the future as we know it. While the context the information is presented in may differ, there&#8217;s usually one thing that all of these <a href="/product/big-data-analytics/">Big Data</a> stories have in common: <strong>the numbers used to describe the magnitude of Big Data are pretty hard to relate to.</strong></p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p>How much is a Zettabyte? How much data is <i>actually</i> created every year? How large is the deficit of data scientists needed to analyze all this big data?</p>

<p>Have no fear, that&#8217;s where I come in. Part of our mission at Sisense is to make data accessible to everyone, no matter your technical expertise so that you can make <a href="https://www.sisense.com/blog/5-signs-your-business-needs-business-intelligence/">data-driven business decisions</a> throughout your organization. So, let&#8217;s see if I can break down exactly how big Big Data actually is &#8211; in numbers that are a bit easier to digest.</p>
