While the term may seem to reference the volume of data, that isn't always the case. The term big data -- especially when used by vendors -- may refer to the technology (which includes tools and processes) that an organization requires to handle the large amounts of data and storage facilities. The term big data is believed to have originated with Web search companies who had to query very large distributed aggregations of loosely-structured data.
