1. Storage: One of the major challenges of big data is storage. As datasets become larger, storing and retrieving them quickly becomes an issue. In addition to having the right infrastructure in place, organizations must also consider factors such as scalability and cost when deciding how to store their data.
2. Integration: Big data can be sourced from a variety of different sources such as databases, web pages, or social media platforms. The challenge here is integrating all this data into one platform in order to gain valuable insights from it and make informed decisions based on that insight.
3. Analysis: With so much data available, it can be difficult for analysts to determine which metrics are most important and how they should go about analyzing them for actionable insights and understanding relationships between various datasets. Additionally, models used for analysis also need to be regularly updated as new information pops up (i.e., machine learning algorithms), making this another challenge with big data analysis projects
4 . Security : As more companies turn towards digital transformation initiatives and adopt cloud-based solutions for their storage needs, there is an increased risk regarding security breaches and unauthorized access to sensitive information stored on these systems,. Organizations will haveto ensure that adequate measures are taken to protect their systems from malicious actors seeking out vulnerabilities in these systems in order to gain access.(This includes encrypting sensitive customer or employee information across all stored systems).

1. Structured Data: This type of data is organized according to pre-defined models such as databases, flat files, and spreadsheets. Structured data makes it easier to process and analyze the data since they have an established format.
2. Unstructured Data: This type of data is not organized according to a specific model or schema and cannot be easily integrated into traditional databases or programming languages. Examples include web logs, social media posts, images, videos, emails and text documents among others.
3. Semi-Structured Data: Also known as ‘meshed’ or ‘hybrid’ data structure, semi-structured data contains elements of both structured and unstructured forms of big data; meaning that there may be some organization present but it is not as rigid as with structured formats like tables/databases or XML documents. Examples include JSON (JavaScript Object Notation), CSV (Comma Separated Values) files etc..
4. Multimedia Data: Multimedia Big Data refers to digital audio/video recordings containing vast amounts information which require powerful systems for real time analysis in order to extract valuable insights from them (e.g.: facial recognition).
