As data volumes continue to explode, businesses are looking for more effective ways to manage and analyze all that data for competitive advantage. Here are 10 recently debuted big data management and analytics products that can help.

Turning Big Data Into Big Competitive Wins
There is an increasingly popular saying that every business today is a data business. That’s because just about every company of any size is trying to collect, manage and analyze data for competitive advantage, either through data-driven automated operations or the use of sophisticated data analysis tools.
