O’Reilly Media’s Strata conference kicked off on Tuesday, which means a lot of big data companies announced new products this week. We already covered MapR’s new lineup of Hadoop features, Red Hat’s partnership with Hortonworks and Splice Machine’s funding, but here are some of the week’s other big data highlights.
Although it didn’t seem so on the surface, the handful of partnerships that NoSQL startup DataStax announced on Tuesday around the Cassandra database is actually quite telling. It’s one thing when a cloud provider Google gets on board (which it has), but something else when smaller, more conservative providers like GoGrid and large-enterprise consultants such as Accenture do. That DataStax is working with those latter companies suggests their customers are running or interested in running Cassandra (and other NoSQL data stores, in the case of GoGrid) and are asking for support.
My Two Cents
Some good info on Big Data, cloud computing and how they all inter relates.
