This talk will focus
on the current market for “Big Data” products, specifically tho
se that deal with one or more of “the 3 V’s." Michael
will suggest that the volume problem for business intellige
nce applications is pretty well solved by the data warehouse vendors; howev
er upcoming “data science” tasks are poorly supported at presen
t. On the other hand, there is rapid technological progress, so &ldquo
;stay tuned." In the velocity arena, recent “new
SQL” and stream processing products are doing a good job, but there a
re a few storm clouds on the horizon. The variety space has
a collection of mature products, along with considerable innovation from st
artups.
Michael will discuss opportunities in this
space, especially those enabled by possible disruption from new technology
. Also discussed will be the pain levels Michael observes in curr
ent enterprises, culminating in his presentation of “The 80
0 Pound Gorilla in the Corner."
