The fervor surrounding "big data," a hot topic in the IT industry throughout the year, is expected to continue in 2016. If the period up to 2015 was considered the "big data introduction period," 2016 is expected to usher in the "big data growth period," with more and more organizations across society seeking to utilize big data. Experts predict that even for companies and organizations that have previously hesitated to adopt systems due to the financial burden, the barrier to utilizing big data will be significantly lower than before.

In line with this trend, OpenSNS (www.opensns.co.kr), a total IT solution service company, has launched BIGstation, a big data integration platform.

OpenSNS's BigStation is an all-in-one product that combines big data collection, storage, processing, analysis, and visualization solutions into a single platform. The company stated that its biggest advantage is that it allows for the introduction of a big data platform at an economical cost. He also said that BigStation is highly regarded as a platform that takes expandability into account, as it allows for additional installation of analysis models in plug-in format, compared to big data systems that are difficult to change their purpose of use once built.

Can be used regardless of the type of company, including general corporations, public institutions, and local governments.
