IBM Acquires Netezza – ADBMS Consolidation Heats Up

By Merv Adrian on September 20, 2010

IBM’s bid to acquire Netezza makes it official; the insurgents are at the gates. A pioneering and leading ADBMS player, Netezza is in play for approximately $1.7 billion or 6 times earnings. When it entered the market in 2001, it catalyzed an economic and architectural shift with an appliance form factor at a dramatically different […]

Aster Data Adds Columnar Storage, Puts Stake in Ground for Hybrid Multistores

By Merv Adrian on September 18, 2010

Aster Data has announced its new version, nCluster 4.6, which now includes a column data store, staking a claim as the first ADBMS to combine SQL and MapReduce on a hybrid row and column MPP system. While its R&D has hitherto been focused on enabling advanced in-database analytic processing in its flagship “Data-Analytics Server, ” […]

Wrapping Up TDWI – Agile? You Bet. And You Should.

Wrapping Up TDWI – Agile? You Bet. And You Should.

By Merv Adrian on August 24, 2010

I’ve posted twice about TDWI’s San Diego event, and I still haven’t exhausted the thoughts I wanted to share. That’s a measure of just how important and successful I think the show was. Three things jumped out at me: The audience is back, and it’s ready to spend. The event was buzzing; I was told […]

By Merv Adrian on August 20, 2010

On my second day at TDWI, I was in meetings all day – events like this are a great opportunity for analysts to catch up with many of the companies they follow at one time, and this particular one was packed with sponsors. Congrats to the folks who sell sponsorships – they had a packed […]

TDWI Event Focuses on Agile BI. What’s That?

By Merv Adrian on August 16, 2010

I’m at the Data Warehouse Institute’s San Diego conference this week, and experimenting with an incremental approach to blogging for this event; I’ll try to get on a few times in the next 2 days (unfortunately that’s all the time I’ll have here) and communicate some quick thoughts, as opposed to my more typical style, […]

EMC Big Data Play Continues: Greenplum Acquisition

EMC Big Data Play Continues: Greenplum Acquisition

By James Governor on July 7, 2010

I wrote recently about VMware’s emerging Data Management play after the announcement the firm was hiring Redis lead developer Salvatore Sanfillipo. While [CEO Paul] Maritz may say VMware isn’t getting into the database business, he means not the relational database market. The fact is application development has been dominated by relational- Oracle on distributed, IBM […]

What’s Hadoop Good For?

What’s Hadoop Good For?

By Bob Warfield on June 24, 2010

Image via CrunchBase Hadoop, for those who haven’t heard of it, is an Open Source version of Google’s Map Reduce distributed computing algorithm.  After reading that Adobe has agreed to Open Source their Puppet modules for managing Hadoop, I got curious about what Adobe might be doing with it.  It didn’t take long on Google […]

Sapphire 2010 Orlando Day One: Nerdcore

Sapphire 2010 Orlando Day One: Nerdcore

By James Governor on May 18, 2010

Kind of struggling to work out the key narratives from Sapphire this year. Well other than the fact that SAP really doesn’t like not having nerds in charge. Leo Apotheker was SAP’s first ever CEO without a development background… he lasted less than a year before getting nuked by Chairman Hasso Plattner. The geeks are […]
