The Best Month for NoSQL, Big Data, and the Data Space?
Last evening I was trying to catch up with the news in the NoSQL and Big Data space—it looks like nobody wants to pick up the job I’m doing here, except maybe GigaOm’s Infrastructure Curator Derick Harris.
After skimming for a while through the links I’ve bookmarked, I’ve started to realize that this month, September 2011, is looking like the most exciting month in the data space, including but not limited to NoSQL and NewSQL, Big Data, data analytics etc. Partnerships, fundings, acquisitions, major releases. Every couple of days I had a news about a very interesting announcement.
You’ve probably read about some of these, but I thought I should group them together so you could get the same feeling I got:
-
MapR Raises $20 for Friendly Hadoop Distribution: a confirmation for another intersting entry in the Hadoop space, after June’s Yahoo’s Hadoop spinoff HortonWorks.
-
BigData Market: IBM Acquires Two Analytics Companies: data analysts would call this consolidation. I’d say it’s the beginning of the acquisition spree.
-
MongoDB Selected as Core Content Management Component of SAP’s Platform-As-A-Service: it’s not very often to hear about a giant chosing a newcomer’s solution as a core component of its services.
-
R and Hadoop: Revolution Analytics and Cloudera Partnership Announced: R developers can access Hadoop data stores and program MapReduce jobs in R
For a while I’ll keep updating this post to point to the most interesting news this month.
