A local database is installed on your computer and is generally not shared. A local database is a great tool for collecting data and creating reports. A network database is usually the same program that you install on your computer; however, you install it on a network drive so that several users can read and update the data.
A cloud hosted database is for a larger userbase where you have the need to access your data from anywhere. The advantages of a cloud based database is that you can choose if the data is accessed by a web browser or from a website. For example, you might have a contact us form on your website that writes the users response to your database so you can view it from any computer.
Big Data has three characteristics: Volume, Velocity, and Variety. Your business generates transactional data every time a sale is made. The collection of this data is a good use for big data. You may also want to collect data on proposals that did not turn into contracts. This information is a good set of data to analyze and find correlations for future proposals.
