Databases/Big Data Category

  HBase and Hadoop rise together, but HBase even higher than Hadoop due to broader usage scenarios

  MongoDB riding hype cycle

Trending Up

•  HBase •  Hadoop •  MongoDB

Trending Level

•  MySQL •  PostgreSQL

Trending Down

•  CouchDB

  Larger base, but lower growth

  NoSQL attention overshadows traditional databases

5 Must Watch Trends in 2012

  Big Data/NoSQL

  Cloud Computing

  DevOps and NoOps

  Scripting Languages

  Increased Open Source Adoption

18 CONFIDENTIAL |

Big Data and NoSQL

  Big Data –  Terabytes to petabytes –  Hadoop: distributed file system,

map/reduce for parallel processing

  NoSQL –  Non-relational data: key/value

pairs, documents/unstructured data –  HBase, CouchDB, MongoDB, Cassandra, Riak

  Enables new use cases –  Live archiving, log file storage, click analysis, data mining –  OpenLogic use case: store & analyze the world’s open source code

  Myth: data isn’t really safe in a NoSQL data store –  ACID vs. CAP

19 CONFIDENTIAL |

Cloud Computing

  Public clouds are based on open source –  Xen, MySQL, HAProxy

  Private cloud implementations –  OpenStack, Cloud Foundry,

Eucalyptus

  Cloud abstraction API’s –  Fog, Deltacloud, jclouds

  Myth: public clouds are insecure

20 CONFIDENTIAL |

DevOps and NoOps

  DevOps: development extended into operations

  NoOps: completely automated production environment

  Configuration management, automation, and deployment –  Chef –  Puppet

  Trend towards end-to-end automation –  Build, deploy, test, scale, monitor –  Especially important in the cloud

  Myth: it takes longer to automate than to “do”

21 CONFIDENTIAL |

Scripting Languages

  Ruby, Python, and JavaScript on the rise –  Often driven by higher level tools and frameworks –  Rails, Django, Node.js –  Bonus items: CoffeeScript and Nginx

  Complementary in Java and C# environments –  Build scripts, automation, testing, deployment, statistics gathering,

rapid prototyping, simple web UI’s and CLI’s –  Prove out benefits in simple PoC’s before attempting larger

projects

  Myth: scripting languages are slow
