Boulder, CO. (PRWEB) November 08, 2013 -- Enterprise Management Associates (EMA), a leading IT and data management research and consulting firm, and 9sight Consulting, a provider of strategic consulting and thought-leadership to buyers and vendors of BI and Big Data solutions, today released their annual Big Data research report entitled, “Operationalizing the Buzz: Big Data 2013.” Based on research criteria defined by EMA VP of Research, Shawn Rogers, EMA Senior Analyst, John Myers, and 9sight Consulting Founder and Principal, Dr. Barry Devlin, this new report reveals the latest Big Data research from a global pool of respondents who provided details on nearly 600 Big Data projects.
"Tapping into the details of nearly 600 Big Data projects is clearly a unique feature of this research,” said Rogers. “We were able to come away with a clear understanding of project stakeholders, workloads, implementation stages and much more, making this research extremely valuable for end users looking to leverage Big Data.”
Building on the 2012 “Big Data Comes of Age” report, this research examines how Big Data has moved beyond being just a buzzword. Increasingly, organizations are learning how to operationalize various Big Data technologies to answer critical business questions and power sophisticated workloads. This year’s research explores not just the what's of Big Data technologies but also the why’s of use cases, implementation strategies and technology choices, as well as:
Most popular use cases for big data based on nearly 600 projects reviewed in this research
Which Hadoop distributions are gaining traction and which are not
The technical and business-driven-challenges for Big Data projects
Most popular data sources that power Big Data
How organizations are continuing the trend of implementing the EMA Hybrid Data Ecosystem (HDE) in association with their Big Data initiatives
“One of the most interesting and, indeed, unexpected findings was the significant shift in data usage from social media and similar sources in the 2013 survey to machine-generated data this year,” said Devlin. “In a single year, it seems, the Internet of Things has sprung to life!”
The complete “Operationalizing the Buzz: Big Data 2013” research report is available online.
