How Big Vendors Are Approaching Big Data
From in-memory computing to columnar databases, a slew of technologies promise to help companies handle larger data sets -– so-called Big Data — and derive insights from it. In recent weeks Enterprise Apps Today looked at eight business-changing ways some companies are using Big Data.
EAT also published two Big Data Buyer’s Guides – one focusing on Oracle’s Exalytics and SAP’s HANA and another discussing the Big Data approaches used by IBM, SAS, Pentaho, Birst and Terracotta. These aren’t the only vendors leveraging Big Data, of course. In a slideshow on sister site IT Business Edge, Loraine Lawson mentions some of the vendors not included in either guide.
