Connecting Data Across Hybrid, Multi-Cloud Systems
Ever-increasing volumes of data, new data-generation sources like Internet of Things networks, and the growing use of artificial intelligence and machine learning to manage and analyze all that data, are just some of the drivers behind the continuing evolution of big data technology.
Spending on big data and business analytics products is expected to reach $210 billion by 2020, according to market researcher IDC, up from $150.8 billion in 2017. That growth is fueling a continuous stream of startups in the big data arena. But it's also pushing more established players to maintain a rapid pace of developing and delivering new and updated big data products.
A new generation of software tools that help businesses and organizations manage data proliferation across hybrid on-premise, private cloud and public cloud systems are hitting the market. Machine learning and artificial intelligence are also big drivers in the big data space with many vendors launching big data-focused AI and ML software or adding AI/ML capabilities to their products.
Here are 10 big data platforms and tools unveiled so far in 2019 that have caught our attention.
