Hadoop Distributions And Kids’ Soccer

Hadoop Distributions And Kids’ Soccer

By Merv Adrian on July 20, 2011

The big players are moving in for a piece of the Big Data action. IBM, EMC, and NetApp have stepped up their messaging, in part to prevent startup upstarts like Cloudera from cornering the Apache Hadoop distribution market. They are all elbowing one another to get closest to “pure Apache” while still “adding value.” Numerous […]

Red Hat the Master Packager: Open Source and the $1bn annual runrate company

Red Hat the Master Packager: Open Source and the $1bn annual runrate company

By James Governor on March 30, 2011

A core research thesis for me is that the best packager in any tech wave wins, and wins big. The number one position in a market, with all the network dominance that implies, goes to the best packager, not the best inventor. Packaging is where you cross the chasm- where geek stuff goes mainstream. Tim […]

IBM’s IOD Showcases DB2, Informix, InfoSphere. Now, About Marketing….

By Merv Adrian on November 15, 2010

It was hard to decide where to look first in Las Vegas this year at IBM’s flagship information management event. Coming as it did on the heels of a massive, sprawling Oracle Open World, it was also overwhelming, but distinguished itself immediately by its focus. Whereas Oracle has smashed together hardware systems, apps, middleware, java […]

Internal Email on Why a  Software Company Migrates Away from MySQL

Internal Email on Why a Software Company Migrates Away from MySQL

By Zoli Erdos on November 4, 2010

Twitter is abuzz this morning with MySQL news: What these messages refer to is that Oracle dropped InnoDB from the free Classic Edition, it is now only available starting with the $2,000 Standard Edition.  A few days ago we heard support prices were increased – none of this should come as a surprise, the writing […]

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 […]
