What is big data?

Big data can be described as super large datasets. Big data is used to spot patterns, problems, or other insights, benefiting decision-making. 

Data could be produced in two different ways – it could be human-generated or device-produced. Device-driven datasets are often neat, while human-generated information usually is shared in different formats, and it could be messy to gather it in bulk. 

Big data is usually divided into three categories depending on its structure. The analysis of contrasting types of data is different, therefore it is vital to understand what kind of data you have to deal with.

What is an SSL or HTTPS Proxy

If you’re new to proxies, the variety of types can be confusing. An SSL or HTTPS proxy simply refers to a proxy that uses the HTTPS protocol to create a secure, encrypted connection between your device and the proxy server.

Proxy types usually describe either the device providing the proxy (like residential or datacenter) or the connection method used. SSL/HTTPS proxies fall into the latter group, ensuring your data is encrypted and protected during transmission.

Using an SSL/HTTPS proxy helps keep your data private, secure, and compatible with most modern websites that require HTTPS connections.
