EMC plays excellent defense (in reference to Oracle above), but on offense there are few that have the strategic vision and competitive execution to match them. Hats off to EMC and Greenplum for exposing the infrastructure storage play and for putting another multi-billion dollar market in play. This market holds long term value that will operate and compete on very different attributes than the traditional BI/warehouse. http://www.dbms2.com/2008/09/06/sans-vs-das-in-mpp-data-warehousing/ It was inevitable that EMC took control of the database, Greenplum notwithstanding.

My angle is that this is about cloud data http://siliconangle.com/blog/2010/07/06/big-data-clouds-are-here-emc-acquires-greenplum-move-counter-oracle/ The big problem facing growing enterprises is that they are flooded with more new types of data. Application and new user data from mobile devices and applications, are changing the mandates from CEOs and CIO of medium and large enterprises. This new world of "big data" is putting pressure on the enterprise to develop both business and technical model innovation strategies like nothing seen before. Hence the traction of the public and private cloud debate. Finally it's about exadata counter move against oracle and EMC looks at this like data domain but down at a different level with Greenplum. Data Domain filled a product hole but Greenplum is a feature against competitors offerings. good post and i'm happy I found this blog.. good info thx John Interesting that you mention concurrency a key factor in big data and what I call “little data” architectures.

Joseph,

What would be some examples of application storage-awareness that data management stacks couldn’t handle properly?

I've been making that point with storage vendors for several years, not that any of them ever listen. It's like talking to rocks. EMC has had several years now to completely revolutionize storage with application awareness. It hasn't really shown any genuine interest in it. To me this is just another product it wants to use to sell storage. Applications in general need to be more storage aware, and vice versa…not just databases.

And yes we are very committed to having an appliance solution to compete in the market. Today that solution is known as the Smart Analytics family which ranges across all platforms- Power, Linux on X and as of this month the mainframe. Cheers, Nancy Curt- yes absolutely, I am back from holiday so I will work with AR and get you briefed, look forward to it as we have some key announcements coming up I want to pre-brief you on in July.

And yes we are very committed to having an appliance solution to compete in the market. Today that solution is known as the Smart Analytics family which ranges across all platforms- Power, Linux on X and as of this month the mainframe.

Of course, this could be an artifact of the fact that my briefings haven't concluded yet (um, are we scheduling more?). ;) Nancy,

(hint hint) Also I would be very curious to hear what you think the market sweet spot is for the new combo of EMC/Greenplum. EDW? Analytical Marts? How do you think they will be able to compete in the appliance space? cheers, Nancy Hi Curt- just a reminder in your list of Warehouse vendors – forgetting anyone ? (hint hint)
