Revisiting the Three V’s of Big Data It’s time to revisit that original post from July 4th, 2011 post on the the Three V’s of big data.  Here’s the recap: Traditionally, big data describes data that’s too large for existing systems to process.  Over the past three years, experts and gurus in the space have […]

Hadoop Distributions And Kids’ Soccer

Hadoop Distributions And Kids’ Soccer

By Merv Adrian on July 20, 2011

The big players are moving in for a piece of the Big Data action. IBM, EMC, and NetApp have stepped up their messaging, in part to prevent startup upstarts like Cloudera from cornering the Apache Hadoop distribution market. They are all elbowing one another to get closest to “pure Apache” while still “adding value.” Numerous […]

Microsoft Leaps Late, Lags with SQL Server PDW

Microsoft Leaps Late, Lags with SQL Server PDW

By Merv Adrian on November 18, 2010

Microsoft chose a user group meeting, Professional Association for SQL Server (PASS), for the rollout of its long-awaited, and late, SQL Server 2008 R2 Parallel Data Warehouse (note, yet again, how foolish it is for vendors to trap themselves with dates in product names.) PDW is late to market; there are other MPP DBMS players […]

By Merv Adrian on November 8, 2010

Calpont, rapidly emerging as yet another contender in the ADBMS sweepstakes, has announced version 2.0 of InfiniDB, its columnar MPP offering over shared storage. The value proposition hits now-familiar themes: high-performance query, fast data loading, data compression, and parallelized user defined functions (UDFs), all of which are becoming key checkoff capabilities. InfiniDB also hits hard […]

EMC Jumps Into ADBMS Appliance Game

EMC Jumps Into ADBMS Appliance Game

By Merv Adrian on November 4, 2010

The Data Computing Appliance, first deliverable from EMC’s acquisition of Greenplum, was announced last month, only 75 days after the acquisition closed, and it doesn’t lack for ambition.  Pat Gelsinger, EMC CEO, pointed to the high level opportunity: unlocking the “hidden value” of enormous and growing data assets every company is increasingly holding, and often […]

IBM zEnterprise and The Reintegration of Everything.

By James Governor on August 6, 2010

IBM’s just launched its new zEnterprise server at a very interesting time for the market. So interesting in fact that’s its very hard indeed to sum up all the swirls and currents currently roiling enterprise IT. Cloud (public and private), consumerisation of IT, Big Data, devops, NoSQL and did I remember to say… cloud? IBM […]
