NoSQL

NoSQL is a Premature Optimization

NoSQL is a Premature Optimization

By Bob Warfield on July 24, 2011

There’s been a lot of back and forth lately from the NoSQL crowd around Michael Stonebreaker’s contention that reliance on relational technology and MySQL has trapped Facebook in a ‘fate worse than death.’   This was reported in a GigaOm post by Derrick Harris.  Harris reports in a later post that most of the reaction […]

Enterprise Headlines and Excerpts, 1-15 April 2011

By Dennis Moore on April 15, 2011

Tax day. Meh. Some highlights of the first half of April: Marin County tries using racketeering charges against Deloitte and SAP. Do Marin County residents realize their paid employees are wasting their money this way? And after wasting so much money with an ill-advised ERP project?!? Larry Page takes over CEO role at Google, shakes […]

Hadoop is Many Things Including the Ideal ETL Tool for Big Data Analytics

Hadoop is Many Things Including the Ideal ETL Tool for Big Data Analytics

By Evangelos Simoudis on April 4, 2011

The success of the recent Strata and Structure conferences (conclusions from last year’s conference and resulting trends can be found here) reinforced the accelerating corporate interest in big data and the specific need for applications and techniques that take advantage of Hadoop.  Based on the presentations I attended or read about, it appears that more […]

Cloudera Convenes Colleagues to Crunch Content (Make Mine Membase)

Cloudera Convenes Colleagues to Crunch Content (Make Mine Membase)

By Merv Adrian on November 28, 2010

Over the past two years, Cloudera has demonstrated the power of surrounding emerging open source software with support services, expertise and its own IP. The firm has  racked up over 30 customers since its founding in late 2008, and emerged as the leading source of Apache Hadoop. Cloudera’s recent C round of financing brought its […]

At Oracle, Closed May be the New Open. Whither MySQL?

At Oracle, Closed May be the New Open. Whither MySQL?

By Merv Adrian on November 10, 2010

I hope I can be forgiven the cute headline. It speaks to a series of events that were heard in Oracle Open World messaging, where the word “open” appeared much less frequently than in years past. Oracle is fortifying its borders, opening new fronts in its market battles, and slowly closing itself off from some […]

Day of The Dead: Web Drives Strong Demand for Java Skills

Day of The Dead: Web Drives Strong Demand for Java Skills

By James Governor on September 3, 2010

As I have argued before, in IT everything is dead. That is- if its in production, its “dead”. When a commentator says Technology A is dead, they generally just mean its not an Apple or Google product. So what about Java, in light of Oracle’s acquisition of Sun, and the complete win of the web […]

EMC Buys Greenplum – Big Data Realignment Continues

EMC Buys Greenplum – Big Data Realignment Continues

By Merv Adrian on July 6, 2010

EMC’s acquisition of Greenplum, announced today as a cash transaction, reaffirms the obvious: the Big Data tsunami upends conventional wisdom. It has already reshaped the market, spawning the most ferment in the RDBMS (and non-R DBMS via the noSQL players) space in years. When I first posted on Greenplum over a year ago, I said […]

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 […]
