New Survey Finds Newer Players Gaining Big Data Interest
BEDFORD, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Progress
(NASDAQ: PRGS) today announced the results of a new report that provides
a comprehensive look at key trends and emerging technologies in the
database ecosystem. With the proliferation of Big Data and a myriad of
new database options, selecting the one best suited for specific
business requirements is becoming more challenging, according to a
survey of 300 IT and business leaders, analysts, developers and
knowledge workers.
Respondents were asked which technologies they are currently using and
which ones they plan to implement within the next two years. The Progress®
DataDirect® 2014 Data Connectivity Outlook survey shows
that while established vendors still hold significant share, a new set
of rising stars - many of them lower-cost alternatives - are emerging in
the data source world. (Download the full report below.)
The Rising Stars in Relational Database Technologies
Not surprisingly, the mature relational database management systems
(RDBMS) from Microsoft (SQL Server) and Oracle are the most widely
adopted according to the report. However, the survey projects
significant growth for emerging alternatives such as the
community-developed MariaDB as well as the SAP HANA in-memory platform,
over the next two years.
Rising Stars in Enterprise Data Warehousing
While respondents say Microsoft (SQL Server), Oracle and IBM (DB2)
enterprise data warehousing technologies are the most widely deployed,
the survey finds the largest future growth in this Big Data segment will
come from vendors such as Teradata, Amazon Redshift, Exadata and EMC
Greenplum. Amazon Redshift, a fast and powerful high-scale data
warehouse service in the cloud, is projected to double in use over the
next two years according to the poll.
Rising Stars in Big Data and Hadoop-Based Systems
When it comes to adoption of high-volume distributed file systems, the
study found that open-source Apache, with its low cost of entry, is the
clear leader being used by more than 45% of respondents. Vendors such as
Microsoft (HD Insights) and Cloudera are the next closest competitors to
Apache, each being used by more than 20% of the respondents.
Rising Stars in NoSQL, NewSQL and Non-Relational Databases
The brightest star in the constellation of cloud-based data and
databases for purpose-built workloads is clearly MongoDB, which is used
by 39% of survey participants. A solid second is SQLFire - an in-memory
SQL database from VMWare - used by 20% of respondents. Several other
databases, such as Cassandra and HBase also were reported to have a
definitive presence.
About the Survey Sample
Progress conducted an online poll of 300 existing customers from small
to medium-sized businesses. The respondents were located around the
world, with 62% from North America, 17% from Europe, 15% from Asia and
5% from South America. Those responding held a number of titles
including Developer, CXO, IT Management, Architect, Line of Business
Leader and Project or Program Manager.

Executive Quote:
Tony Fisher, vice president of data collaboration and integration
at Progress, said, "Nearly every organization is in an uphill battle
with increasing volumes of data. Adding to the complexity are the
seemingly endless options for managing and effectively using this
information -- whether on-premise or in the cloud. Our goal with the
Progress DataDirect 2014 Data Connectivity Outlook is to offer a
high-level perspective on how businesses are getting actionable insight
from their data, based on what customers have implemented or are
planning to implement."
