Enterprise Headlines and Excerpts, 1-15 April 2011

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 […]

Cloudera-Informatica Deal Opens Broader Horizons for Both

Cloudera-Informatica Deal Opens Broader Horizons for Both

By Merv Adrian on November 26, 2010

Cloudera‘s continuing focus on the implications of explosive data growth has led it to another key partnership, this time with Informatica. Connecting to the dominant player in data integration and data quality expands the opportunity for Cloudera dramatically; it enables the de facto commercial Hadoop leader to find new ways to empower the “silent majority” […]

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 […]

IBM Acquires Netezza – ADBMS Consolidation Heats Up

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 […]

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 […]

Thoughts on Big Data

Thoughts on Big Data

By Evangelos Simoudis on July 8, 2010

Earlier in the year I wrote about areas of investment interest for 2010 and included Big Data aggregation, management, and data mining/processing. A couple of weeks ago I had attended Gigaom’s Structure 2010, a conference devoted to big data. As is also noted by Derrick Harris here there is a growing market of vendors that […]

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 […]
