1 Research Report Abstract: The Convergence of Big Data Processing and Integrated Infrastructure By Evan Quinn, Senior Principal Analyst and Bill Lundell, Senior Research Analyst With Brian Babineau, Vice President of Research and Analyst Services July 2012
2 Introduction Research Objectives Research Report: The Convergence of Big Data Processing and Integrated Infrastructure In order to assess current data analytics and processing trends, as well as plans for the next months, ESG recently surveyed 399 North American IT and business professionals representing midmarket (100 to 999 employees) and enterprise-class (1,000 employees or more) organizations. Respondents were familiar with their organization s current data analytics environment and processes, as well as forward-looking strategies involving the infrastructure and platforms necessary to support data analytics initiatives. The survey was designed to answer the following questions: How important is the enhancement of data analytics capabilities relative to all of an organization s business and IT priorities? What is associated with the term big data? What are the trends for current usage and planned adoption of MapReduce framework technology? What is the size of the largest data set upon which an organization conducts data analytics activities? How many unique sources do organizations integrate as part of their largest data sets? How frequently do organizations update their largest data set? What kind of tools do organizations use to integrate the data sources populating their largest data sets? What sources and data types comprise organizations largest data sets? What data analytics and/or processing challenges do organizations face with respect to their largest data sets? What types of data analytics platforms have organizations deployed to support their largest data sets? What benefits have they derived from these platforms? What types of data analytics platforms do organizations anticipate deploying in support of their fastest growing data sets? What requirements are driving these changes? Are the sources populating organizations largest data sets geographically dispersed? What challenges does this present? What are the must-have data management features/functionality for data analytics platforms and infrastructure? What kind of storage technologies do organizations use to support their data analytics and processing activities? Which are most pervasive and how will this change going forward? How much downtime can organizations tolerate when it comes to their data analytics platforms? What data protection technologies do they have in place to support these requirements? Survey participants represented a wide range of industries including manufacturing, financial services, communications and media, health care, and retail. For more details, please see the Research Methodology and Respondent Demographics sections of this report.
3 Research Methodology To gather data for this report, ESG conducted a comprehensive online survey of IT professionals from private- and public-sector organizations in North America (United States and Canada) between March 5, 2012 and March 12, To qualify for this survey, respondents were required to be IT or business professionals personally responsible for their organization s data analytics and processing environment, including the software/applications and/or the underlying platforms and systems. All respondents were provided an incentive to complete the survey in the form of cash awards and/or cash equivalents. After filtering out unqualified respondents, removing duplicate responses, and screening the remaining completed responses (on a number of criteria) for data integrity, we were left with a final total sample of 399 IT and business professionals. Please see the Respondent Demographics section of this report for more information on these respondents. Note: Totals in figures and tables throughout this report may not add up to 100% due to rounding.
4 Respondent Demographics The data presented in this report is based on a survey of 399 qualified respondents. The figures below detail the demographics of the respondent base, including individual respondents current job responsibility, technology responsibility, and job function, as well as the respondent organizations total number of employees, primary industry, and annual revenue.
