In my last post, I described the changes at the top of the $103.2B revenue DBMS market, with trends we have watched as they evolved and matured over the past few years. As in that post, I will note significant changes Gartner made in their prior year revenue estimates, with a nod to some otherContinue reading “DBMS Revenues 2023 – Beyond the Top Ten”

DBMS Market in 2023 – Transition Continues
My friend, Gartner analyst Adam Ronthal, has updated his famous “spaghetti chart” of DBMS market share for 2023, and as usual, even a quick inspection is very instructive. The leading 4 (AWS, Microsoft, Oracle and Google) held their positions. Some “hot” players are continuing to rise, while old stalwarts continue to hold on or dropContinue reading “DBMS Market in 2023 – Transition Continues”
Dive Deeper into Gartner’s 2023 Cloud DBMS Magic Quadrant: Key Takeaways and Beyond
I recently collaborated with my colleague Sanjeev Mohan on our first joint written piece since leaving Gartner. We picked a favorite topic – Database Management Systems. These are our views, and should not be construed as Gartner’s position. Gartner’s 2023 Magic Quadrant for Cloud Database Management Systems, published in December 2023 based on vendor evaluationsContinue reading “Dive Deeper into Gartner’s 2023 Cloud DBMS Magic Quadrant: Key Takeaways and Beyond”
Hadoop Projects Supported By Only One Distribution
The Apache Software Foundation has succeeded admirably in becoming a place where new software ideas are developed: today over 350 projects are underway. The challenges for the Hadoop user are twofold: trying to decide which projects might be useful in big data-related cases, and determining which are supported by commercial distributors. In Now, What is Hadoop? And What’s Supported? I list 10 supportedContinue reading “Hadoop Projects Supported By Only One Distribution”
Which SQL on Hadoop? Poll Still Says “Whatever” But DBMS Providers Gain
Since Nick Heudecker and I began our quarterly Hadoop webinars, we have asked our audiences what they expected to do about SQL several times, first in January 2014. With 164 respondents in that survey, 32% said “we’ll use what our existing BI tool provider gives us,” reflecting the fact that most adopters seem not to wantContinue reading “Which SQL on Hadoop? Poll Still Says “Whatever” But DBMS Providers Gain”
Who Asked for an Open Data Platform?
This is a joint blog post between Nick Heudecker and Merv Adrian. It’s Strata week here in San Jose, and with that comes a flood of new announcements on products, partners and funding. Today’s big announcement came in the form of the Open Data Platform (ODP). A number of companies have signed on, but inContinue reading “Who Asked for an Open Data Platform?”
Hortonworks IPO – Why Now?
Last week, many observers were surprised when Hortonworks’ S1 for an initial public offering (IPO) was filed. And there are good reasons to be surprised. Why now? CEO Rob Bearden told VentureWire not long ago that he expected to exit 2014 “at a strong $100 million run rate” in preparation for a 2015 IPO. What changed? PerhapsContinue reading “Hortonworks IPO – Why Now?”
Strata Spark Tsunami – Hadoop World, Part One
New York’s Javits Center is a cavernous triumph of form over function. Giant empty spaces were everywhere at this year’s empty-though-sold-out Strata/Hadoop World, but the strangely-numbered, hard to find, typically inadequately-sized rooms were packed. Some redesign will be needed next year, because the event was huge in impact and demand will only grow. A few ofContinue reading “Strata Spark Tsunami – Hadoop World, Part One”
Hadoop Investments Continue: Teradata, HP Jockey For Position
Interest from the leading players continues to drive investment in the Hadoop marketplace. This week Teradata made two acquisitions – Revelytix and Hadapt – that enrich its already sophisticated big data portfolio, while HP made a $50M investment in, and joined the board of, Hortonworks. These moves continue the ongoing effort by leading players. 4 ofContinue reading “Hadoop Investments Continue: Teradata, HP Jockey For Position”
BYOH – Hadoop’s a Platform. Get Used To It.
When is a technology offering a platform? Arguably, when people build products assuming it will be there. Or extend their existing products to support it, or add versions designed to run on it. Hadoop is there. The age of Bring Your Own Hadoop (BYOH) is clearly upon us. Specific support for components such as PigContinue reading “BYOH – Hadoop’s a Platform. Get Used To It.”
