Gartner Highlights Cool Big Data Firms
July 24, 2013
Is coolness enough to succeed in the big data analytics world? That’s a tougher question to answer than you’d think. If we’re talking about fly-by-night hipness, then probably not. However, Gartner has been taking the entire industry back to high school by deeming certain organizations cool. Shockingly, they might be on to something, as we discovered in a recent PR Web story, “Gartner Research Recognizes Centrifuge as a ‘Cool Vendor’ for Big Data.”
According to the story:
“Centrifuge Systems today announced it has been selected by Gartner as a “Cool Vendor” in the respected analyst firm’s annual report on Security Intelligence Vendors for 2013* that recognizes innovative and disruptive technology solutions in big-data analytics, particularly those that provide “contextual analysis of security intelligence across silos”.”
Interesting news on a promising company. Normally, we are pretty skeptical about such designations, but have become big fans of Gartner’s cool awards. It’s not bestowing a lot of hype on a company to blow our minds, it’s a more subtle way of saying someone is doing something good for the time being, check it out. That sounds like a recommendation we can seriously get behind.
