Hadoop Vendors On the Rise
February 13, 2012
Information Week offers the interesting article “12 Hadoop Vendors to Watch In 2012.” Hadoop is a favorite in the business intelligence world “thanks to its combination of low cost, scalability, and flexibility to handle any data without building predefined schemas.”
Business intelligence vendors are counting on Hadoop to help with not only data processing but also with data analysis. The article mentions several notable companies. Cloudera is not surprising it is “the oldest and largest Hadoop software and services provider.”
Other vendors such as EMC and Microsoft are two surprising vendors noted in the article with Hadoop connections. Datameer is another notable vendor building steam and you can read more about them here. An interesting list however it comes as a big surprise that Digital Reasoning was left off of the list which is a huge oversight for so many reasons in my opinion. The list of vendors couldn’t be more different but data analytics bridges the gap. It’s definitely “the next big thing.”
