Hi Stuart: Are you noting how poorly the article was written or do you feel Big Data is just a passing phase? I will agree that the writer is not going to be winning any prizes. If you doubting the growth of Big data, just like Climate warming, it is no longer a question or even point of contention, it is a done deal. I would expect many mixed messages in the article as it is a grouping and projection of a number of studies. Regardless, the implementation of Big Data solutions is a large hot spot in the computer industry with many of the best paying jobs are going there. For small companies this technology will never be used, at least not directly, but for any sizeable industry or governments, the implementation is in full swing.

Guess it depends on how you define "average", "enterprise", "will" and "2014" :) (92% of companies under 1000 employees and 84% of organisations surveyed plan* to spend less than $5M, 71% of total intend to spend less than $1M. The 2% who plan to spend over $100M each may cause a light distortion in appearances) *where the total who are allegedly "planning" from the previous question includes "are considering... in the next 13 - 24 months" and "likely to miplement in the future but have no specific timelines". Very dodgy methodology. But I guess if it's good enough for climate scientists, it's good enough for market analysts :) -- Stuart On 19 Jan 2014 at 14:00, Jim Lawrence wrote: > Hi All: > > According to Forbes the future of databases are as such; 2014: The > Year Big Data Adoption Goes Mainstream In The Enterprise: > > http://www.forbes.com/sites/louiscolumbus/2014/01/12/2014-the-year-big > -data-adoption-goes-mainstream-in-the-enterprise/#! > > Are any people here on the Tech list are working with Big-Data > solutions? > > Jim > > _______________________________________________ > dba-Tech mailing list > dba-Tech at databaseadvisors.com > http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/dba-tech > Website: http://www.databaseadvisors.com > _______________________________________________ dba-Tech mailing list dba-Tech at databaseadvisors.com http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/dba-tech Website: http://www.databaseadvisors.com
