You Can’t Beat The House

Data warehouses have been at the center of data analytics systems within many businesses and organizations for years, going as far back as the 1980s. With the growing adoption of cloud, data warehouse services offered by Amazon Web Services, Snowflake and Google Cloud have become popular alternatives to on-premises data warehouses.

Even more recently Databricks and other proponents of the data lakehouse concept have championed data lakehouses as a more flexible and cost-effective alternative to data warehouses.

The debate goes on. As part of the CRN 2023 Big Data 100, CRN has compiled a list of data warehouse and data lake system and service vendors that solution providers should be familiar with. They include established vendors such as Cloudera, Databricks and Dremio as well as more recent startups like Firebolt and Onehouse.

This week CRN is running the Big Data 100 list in a series of slide shows, organized by technology category, spotlighting vendors of business analytics software, database systems, data warehouse and data lake systems, data management and integration software, data observability tools, and big data systems and cloud platforms.

Some vendors market big data products that span multiple technology categories. They appear in the slideshow for the technology segment in which they are most prominent.
