Accel $100m Fund for Big Data, Hadoop, and NoSQL Databases

[…] Rather, he’s looking for companies that add to Hadoop, NoSQL, solid-state drives or other building blocks by tuning them to become easily consumable analytics engines or by creating products to help users better visualize what their data looks like.
