2015 Data Connectivity Outlook

Though we often refer to the “database wars” as an event that took place in  the ‘90s, the truth is that while the competition may have cooled as vendors consolidated, it never really stopped. With the proliferation of NoSQL and Big Data platforms, each with their own advantages, in addition to the fact that relational databases are still dominating the marketplace, it appears that the battle of database vendor consolidation is still going strong.

Last year, we released our 2014 Data Connectivity Outlook defining the lay of the database landscape. Back then, the big story was Big Data as we charted the rise of non-relational data sources like MongoDB and Hadoop. Now it’s time to check back in and see how things will stack up this year and beyond in our 2015 Data Connectivity Outlook survey.
