Rashad 1 , M. A. El-Dosuky 1 1 Faculty of Computers and Information, Mansoura University, Egypt Received: 03 May 2014; Accepted: 10 July 2014 Abstract We are faced with a torrent of data generated and captured in digital form as a result of the advancement of sciences, engineering and technologies, and various social, economical and human activities. This big data phenomenon ushers in a new era where human endeavors and scientific pursuits will be aided by not only human capital, and physical and financial assets, but also dataassets. Research issues in big data and big data analysis are embedded in multi- dimensional scientific and technological spaces. this paper reviews Big data technology, then proposes a framework to build a switch for Iraqi cellular phone service providers. The major three cell phone networks in Iraq: AsiaCell, Korek, and Zain. Investigations show that it is very promising and could be seen as a good optimization.

Introduction It is often assumed that Big Data resources are too large and complex for human comprehension. The analysis of Big Data is best left to software programs. Not so. When data analysts go straight to the complex calculations, before they perform a simple estimation, they will find themselves accepting wildly ridiculous calculations[1]. Rapid increases in high performance computing are feeding the development of larger and more complex data sets in ∗ Corresponding author. E-mail address: rebwarahmadd@yahoo.com (R. A. Mahmood).
