MarkLogic Raises $25M to Keep Up Enterprise NoSQL Pitch
Jordan Novet for GigaOm annoucing another round of funding raised by MarkLogic:
On Wednesday, MarkLogic’s success was validated again, as the company announced a $25 million round of venture funding, bringing the total it has raised to $71.2 million. Sequoia Capital and Tenaya Capital led the round; CEO Gary Bloom and other MarkLogic executives also contributed.
✚ In 2010, MarkLogic made the first steps to join the NoSQL trends. Not very vigurous steps, but not shy either. Dave Kellogg (CEO of MarkLogic): We are NoSQL too
✚ As of this year, MarkLogic tries to position its product as NoSQL for enterprise. Price-wise, I have to agree.
✚ MarkLogic also tries a amore aggressive positioning in the NoSQL space: MarkLogic’s New (Aggressive) Voice

Neo Technology Raises Another $11mil for Neo4j Graph Database
Derrick Harris for GigaOm:
Graph database startup Neo Technology has raised another $11 million, providing more fuel to the fire of specialized databases. Whether they’re graph databases organizing data by relationships, or geospatial databases concerned with where stuff is located, everyone is trying capitalize on myriad new data sources available.
According to my calculations this brings Neo Technology at $24.1 millions ($10.6M in Sept.2011 and $2.5 in Oct.2009).

$25 Million in C Round for DataStax
I’d say that raising another $25 million from Meritech Capital Partners and with the participation of existing investors Lightspeed Venture Partners and Crosslink Capital is a good enough reason for DataStax to party.
DataStax will use the funds to further enhance its Big Data platform and increase the value for current customers while driving global customer acquisition.
Congrats to DataStax and Cassandra community!

Accel $100m Fund for Big Data, Hadoop, and NoSQL Databases
Promising times for companies in the data space:
With its new $100 million Big Data Fund, the VC firm’s offices across the globe will invest in applications that help form an ecosystem around existing big data building blocks such as Hadoop and NoSQL. […] 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. Taking it a step further, Li is also interested in applications that might not play up their big data roots at all because the underlying technologies are just a means to an end.

Hadapt Raises $9.5m Series a Financing
Speaking of funding, Hadapt, the company founded by Daniel Abadi, announced that it has closed a $9.5 million Series A round of financing led by Norwest Venture Partners (NVP) and Bessemer Venture Partners.
I haven’t heard much of Hadapt since the initial announcement, so I hope things will change.

Basho Raises $5mil for Improving Riak
Congratulations to the Basho guys for closing an additional $5m round of funding. According to Martin Schneider “the funds will be used to make Riak an even better product. We have some seriously awesome plans for additional features, platform capabilities, cloud tools etc.”
Riak already seems like a great product to me—there’s always place for improvements though. I’d say part of the money and a tad more effort should go into making Riak a more popular product.
Details: This is the second round raised this year after the $7.5m announced in June bringing it to a total of $12.5m. The new funding comes from an inside round. Past investors in Basho have included private equity firm Georgetown Partners and Danish systems integrator Trifork AS.

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.
