Splunk, the Search Engine for Machine Data Company, Files for IPO. Why?
Splunk, the company which recently announced Shep a solution combining Splunk’s tool for collecting, monitoring, analyzing, searching, and reporting on massive streams of real-time and historical machine data with Hadoop, has filed for IPO.
Giving the following facts:
- you are in a market (Big Data, Web of Things) that is confirmed to see tremendous growth
- you have over 3300 customers,including a majority of the Fortune 100
- your revenues almost doubled year-over-year
the real question to be answered is why filing for IPO?
None of the posts I’ve read (TechCrunch, GigaOM, CTO Vision) gives any answers.
The very next question is who is going to be next rushing to capitalize on the growing trends of Big Data. Many names sprang to mind, but firstly what are your bets?

HBase and Hadoop in OpenLogic Top 5 Trending Open Source Projects
It’s nice to see HBase and Hadoop in the Top 5 gainers[1] of the OpenLogic’s Open source adoption trending report, but the list of contenders in the database and big data category is way too short: HBase, Hadoop, Mongodb, MySQL, PostgreSQL, CouchDB.

The top 5: HBase, Node.js, nginx, Hadoop, Rails ↩

How Polyglot Persistence and Having Data Storage Options Changes Things
No 2012 predictions. Just facts.
GigaOm’s Barb Darrow commenting on Oracle’s Q2 financial results:
This is bad news for the company which pinned its cloud hopes on specialized data center appliances — the Exadata database machine, Exalogic middleware/application appliance, Exalytics analytics engine as well as a proposed ”Big Data Appliance.” This is the third consecutive quarter where Oracle posted hardware sales declines but this is probably more painful because the company is finally now fully engaged in its big data center appliance push.
As a low to mid range customer, I was disenfranchised by oracle, and we have gotten rid of segments of oracle in our data center. Just recently they have shown interest in us again so perhaps the low margin equipment will be back. Sun was not focused enough, and Oracle was too focused. Hopefully they are finding an profitable and useful middle ground.
So, NoSQL database #9999 there are many other equally usable solutions that are far more transparent in the way they do business and foster community around their products. This isn’t about paying money. This is about trust. So, sorry NoSQL #9999, but I’ll not be entering your sales cycle in this fashion or evaluating your product at this time. Moving along now…

Tech Leaders Don't Win by Saying They'll Crush Somebody
The best technology companies in the world, be they in hardware, software or Web services, didn’t get there by brashly saying they were going to take out #1, kill them or stomp on their grave. If you think about it, or do your share of reading up on Web history, you’ll find that for the most part, the companies who we associate with leadership, be it through quality, market share or traffic stats, reached their position with a near purity of thought on their ability to deliver something new and differentiated. So when you read about company X targeting company Y or setting up to take them down, you can almost guarantee they either won’t make it, or company Y is going to change the game again.
There isn’t anything I could add to it. Maybe just an advise to encourage your marketing & PR folks to consider it when redacting the next message for your company and product.

About the MongoLab, MongoDB DaaS, Investment
MongoLab’s offering capitalizes on two important trends we see impacting the vast majority of our portfolio companies: the rapid adoption of the cloud deployment model and and the increasing use of “Big Data” and NoSQL tools. […] Of the many offerings in the “Big Data” and NoSQL universe, we like the fact that MongoLab has chosen to specialize in 10gen’s MongoDB. MongoDB’s scalability (in size and read/write volume), its ability to run MapReduce jobs and its accelerating adoption among developers are all compelling aspects of the MongoDB platform.
MongoDB adoption is great.
