ORACLE Corp. recently unveiled new big data solutions the company said would “simplify information access and discovery, enabling customers to quickly turn data into business value.”
In a statement last week, the company said these additional solutions “further Oracle’s vision to enable Hadoop, NoSQL (Not only Structured Query Language) and SQL technologies to work together and be deployed securely in any model–whether public cloud, private cloud or an on-premises infrastructure.”
Generating value from big data requires the right tools to move and store data to effectively discover new insights, according to Oracle.
“In order to operationalize those insights, new data must integrate securely with existing data, infrastructure, applications and processes.”
Dan Vesset, International Data Corp. vice president of business analytics research, was quoted in the statement as saying they believe one type of technology “will no longer suffice in supporting all the analytics use cases.”
“At the same time, data management and analysis as a series of unrelated projects results in an unmanageable IT quagmire and unnecessary risks.”
Vesset said IDC predicts that by 2017 unified data platform architecture will become the foundation of enterprise-wide big data and analytics strategy. “The unification will occur across information management, analysis and search technology.”
According to IDC, spending from the enterprise and cloud service provider segments compose the Asia/Pacific excluding Japan (APEJ) Software-Defined Networking SDN market. IDC said based on its latest technology assessment, the APEJ SDN market will grow from $6.2 million in 2013 to over $1 billion by 2018.
“Businesses are more closely correlated today with technology than ever and this will be a strong contributing factor to driving growth in the SDN market because of the benefits it brings to the table,” a news release quoted Surjyadeb Goswami, Research Manager, APEJ Enterprise Networking at IDC, as saying.
“End-users recognize the benefits of SDN, but are not jumping on the bandwagon aggressively, mainly as migration from a legacy platform to SDN is not straight forward,” Goswami added.
According to Neil Mendelson, vice president of big data at Oracle, “data is a new kind of capital and enterprises must invest their data capital strategically to create the best return.”
