Part 2 of CRN’s Big Data 100 includes a look at the vendors solution providers should know in the systems and platforms space.

Oracle

Top Executive: CEO Safra Catz

With its flagship Oracle Database (current release 21c) the dominant relational database in the industry, there is no arguing with the company’s position as a leading big data company. (Oracle’s database portfolio also includes the open-source MySQL database.)

The Oracle Database is also the foundation for a range of other big data packages and offerings from the company including the Oracle Autonomous Database and the Oracle Autonomous Data Warehouse.

Oracle’s analytics software includes Oracle Essbase, Oracle Analytics Server, Analytics Cloud and Fusion Analytics and the company offers a broad range of data management and data integration tools.

Oracle, now based in Austin, Texas, even provides hardware for running big data systems including the Oracle Database Appliance and the Oracle Exadata Database machine.
