Big data is data that's too big for conventional database systems to process. That can be a big problem that often leaves companies looking for alternative ways to manage the load.

According to this new infographic from Wikibon.org, the living proof is in companies like LinkedIn, Facebook and Amazon.com, which are already capitalizing on user data. As the drive for more data continues to increase, companies may only have two options: Either tame the big data beast, or be crushed by the competition.
