Business users regard big data as a chance for new business ideas and insights into existing business processes. More and also more detailed analyses as well as analyses of a broader base of data play a key role for users. The goal is to be better able to predict the development of business performance indicators. What is the current and future market for big data hardware and software solutions? What is the role of Hadoop? Which high-performance computing vendors can address users' big data challenges? Who has an in-memory technology? How can such large volumes of data be secured properly? Which big data services have emerged? Vendors provide very different answers to these questions, resulting in a rather complex market. Buzzwords such as nosql, Hadoop, in-memory and prescriptive analytics have certainly had one effect: They have alerted users to pay attention to an issue which is emerging on the horizon, the peak of an iceberg so to speak: the growth of data volumes.

3 According to Experton Group's definition, big data describes the collection of new information which must be made available to large numbers of users in near real time, based on enormous data inventories from multiple sources, with the goal to make critical competitive decisions faster. Experton Group s independent Big Data Vendor Benchmark 2015 will analyze the performance of vendors and service providers that are currently offering big data solutions and technologies in the German and Swiss market. Vendor positioning is based on an independent research and evaluation process. For ICT vendors and service providers, the Big Data Vendor Benchmark will not only constitute a key medium to determine their own position within the German big data market, but can also be used as an effective marketing tool. The evolution of BI/BA solutions and adoption of supercomputing technologies will make big data suitable for every-day applications and industrial usage scenarios much faster, and so, it is high time to re-evaluate the vendor landscape. The Big Data Vendor Benchmark by Experton Group AG provides user organizations a consistent market overview and practical decision support to help them evaluate the performance of hardware and software vendors and service providers for the purpose of purchasing, aggregating and processing large volumes of data and syndicating the computation results gained from data analyses in the German and Swiss market. The benchmark report provides a transparent comparison of the strengths and weaknesses of individual providers. Copyright Experton Group AG 3

4 A Look at the Big Data Market Development Exploring multiple data sources requires new privacy procedures. Heterogeneous sources are also more prone to errors and manipulation, which makes data integrity an important issue to be addressed accordingly. With this in mind, the Big Data Vendor Benchmark 2015 analyzes and evaluates characteristics such as the following: Big data infrastructure (data storage solutions, links between data and databases, appliance, compute hardware); Big data consulting and services; Big data aggregation (aggregation fo data from multiple sources, data integration); Big databases (novel kinds of database systems and database solutions for data volumes in the multiterabyte range); Big data analytics (business intelligence solutions, data warehouses, advanced analytics engines and front-ends); Big data syndication (visualization, distribution of computational results to many users, dashboard); Data security and data integrity.

5 Methodology and Approach Independent and Differentiated Research Approach Research for the project will be conducted from May to July 2014 and includes a standardized vendor survey as well as the analysis of products, demos, expert interviews and a review of existing documentation and customer references. Vendors offerings are analyzed in great detail and compared by segments. Key content and evaluation criteria of the benchmark include the following: Strategy / Roadmap Pricing & terms of use Product and services portfolio Consulting and services Product and services characteristics Innovative strength Technology & ecosystem The benchmark results will be documented within a report; an event will be held where leading vendors and service providers will receive an exclusive award.
