Very well described. This is especially important as when more business folks are able to understand how these concepts can be successfully applied for driving more sophisticated business analytics, the greater the velocity to stronger business results.

My work at Orbitz with Kognitio returned almost instant ROI as compared to other in house systems that struggled to provide the same insight (i.e. Greenplum).

Derrick nice post but perhaps title should be 9 more companies putting a cloud spin on NoSQL big data ;)

There’s Big Data cloud solutions deployed on ODB’s and RDF triplestores so perhaps best solutions should federate across all types of DB’s

Nice article Derrick. I really liked your review of Infochimps. I think many Big Data start-ups will get built (e.g., BlackLocus) on their platform.

Many small analytics companies (such as my firm, Knowledge Foundry)are solving Big Data problems using the power of cloud computing.

Great article. Really impressed with Infochimps. For another take on “big data” and cloud take a look at @sonian … An enterprise content archive platform managing over 5 billion objects across 3 public clouds. http://sonian.com. http://gregarnette.com
