Rising Big Data Stars

Technology for managing and analyzing big data is one of the fastest-growing segments of the IT industry right now. And it’s an area where innovative startups seem to have a competitive edge over the major, established IT vendors. What’s more, the vendors on this list know the value of a good partnership and either have a serious commitment to the channel or plan to leverage it as they “cross the chasm” and go mainstream with their bleeding-edge technologies.

Take a look at the hottest startups in the big data segment from the Emerging Vendors list for 2014. Altogether there are more than 80 startups in the big data/business intelligence space, so we’ve split them into two shows with vendors A-M included here and vendors N-Z in a slideshow to follow.

Concurrent offers application middleware technology that businesses use to develop, deploy, run and manage big data applications. The company’s products include the Cascading application development framework and Driven application performance management software.
