My last post (here) blathered about the effect that Hadoop must have on database vendor profits. An associate wrote me with the reminder that Hadoop is also impacting revenues and profits of ETL companies. If you think about Hadoop as both an inexpensive staging area for an EDW and as a parallel compute engine that can…
I have posted several times about the impact of the Hadoop eco-system on a several companies (here, here, here, for example). The topic cam up in a tweet thread a few weeks back… which prompts this quick note. Fours years ago the street price for a scalable, parallel, enterprise data warehouse platform was $US25K-$US35K per…
Here are two videos of me speaking from the 2013 Intel Developer Forum FYI. The first has some technical detail: The second is more of a PR pitch about Intel Hadoop: I’m working with Intel on a new video with a pretty interesting storyline (at least I hope that you find it interesting?)… so stay…
For several years now I have been suggesting that Hadoop will squeeze the big data RDBMSs: Teradata, Exadata, Greenplum, and Netezza… squeezing them first out of the big data end of the market and then impinging on the high-end of the EDW space. Further I have suggested that there may be a significant and immediate TCO…
Teradata has recently announced a very complete Teradata database-to-Hadoop integration. Is this note we’ll consider how a Teradata shop might effectively use these features to significantly reduce the TCO of any Teradata system. The Teradata Appliance for Hadoop (here) offering is quite well thought out and complete… including a Teradata appliance, a Hadoop appliance, and…
Now for SQL Server… continuing the thread on RDBMS-Hadoop integration (Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, Part 4, Part 5, Part 6, Part 7) I have suggested that we could evaluate integration architecture using three criteria: How parallel are the pipes to move data between the RDBMS and the parallel file system; Is there intelligence to push down predicates; and Is…
Now for HANA plus Hadoop… to continue this thread on RDBMS-Hadoop integration (Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, Part 4, Part 5) I have suggested that we could evaluate integration architecture using three criteria: How parallel are the pipes to move data between the RDBMS and the parallel file system; Is there intelligence to push…
