+# Big Data Architectures
+
+## Big Data and Analytics Overview
+- [Four V's](http://www.ibmbigdatahub.com/infographic/four-vs-big-data)
+    + Volume - Scale of data
+    + Variety - Different forms of data
+    + Velocity - Analysis of streaming data
+    + Veracity - Uncertainty of data
+- Additional V's
+    + Visualization
+    + Value
+    + Variability
+- Considerations
+    - Data batching vs. streaming
+    - Embedded models or interfaces
+    - API or RPC or REST
+    - Deployed trained models (batch) vs. [real-time/streaming/online machine learning](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Online_machine_learning)
+    - Reliable quality data
+- Solution elements
+    + Data sources: real time measurement, events, IoT, and so on
+    + Raw data extraction, collection, and ingestion
+    + Data preparation, processing, cleaning, normalization, and standardization
+    + Data transformation and aggregation
+    + Data storage
+    + Data comsumption, visualization, and analysis
+    + Prediction and prescription
+    + Asynchronous messaging
+    + Actionable insights
+    + Deployed model monitoring and performance measurement
+- Data Analytics
+    + Descriptive analytics - What happened and why?
+    + Predictive analytics - What is the probability of something happening?
+    + Prescriptive analytics - What specific recommendations will drive business decisions and help achieve business goals (i.e., what to do if 'X' happens)
