Someone two degrees of separation from me coined the term "medium data". I don't remember their name, but I absolutely love the term. You are "big data" when black swan events (like hardware failure taking down a database node) become regular enough that you begin to statistically model it. Before that, you might just have a lot of data, but you aren't having "big data" problems.
