IBM spills more about Hadoop strategy with new PureData System
IBM has already been investing in Hadoop-based projects for a considerable time now, and the tech giant has a new open source-based platform to add to its big data portfolio today.
Even after a few short months, Hadoop has already proven to be one of the biggest hot topics in enterprise technology this year.
Much of it got started around late February when Intel, Hewlett-Packard, Hortonworks and EMC all introduced new solutions based on the open source software. The common thread for most of these new products is to use Hadoop technology to streamline and process big data at a lower cost.
