We are proud co-sponsors of a new report from TDWI on the subject of Big Data Analytics. Published late September 2011, the report is written by expert Philip Russom and he conducted a survey of 325 data warehousing professionals on the topic of Big Data Analytics. There are some interesting statistics in the report and they support the recent emergence of topics such as big data, analytics and the Cloud. In particular:
- only 7% of those asked had never heard of or hadn't got a "big data" problem
- other terms used to describe the phenomenon include: big data analytics; advanced analytics; large data set analytics, a pain in the a... (seriously....)
- the barriers to adopting a solution for big data analytics include cost, skill set, staffing and scalability
- while 70% regard big data as an opportunity, 30% see it as a pain
- in 3 years time, 31% of those surveyed believe 10-100 TB will be the size of their data warehousing environments
- a third of those asked think they will replace their analytic platform in the next 3 years
- 30% would prefer a cloud-based analytic platform as opposed to on-premise
- drivers to replacing their platform include "cannot scale up with existing platform" (42%) and "need/want a cloud/SaaS platform (15%)
- over the next 3 years, respondents will adopt: a private cloud (22%); in-memory database (26%); data marts for analytics (38%)
- "clouds", "SaaS" and "analytic DBMS" are deemed areas of "good potential growth"
