 | |  | | Doug Henschen | | | | | Enterprise IT organizations still aren't ready to go all-in on open source, virtualized, and cloud databases. But having those options on the table gives buyers some negotiating leverage with database vendors.
Among the 716 respondents to our InformationWeek 2013 State of Database Technology Survey, 91 percent of those interested in an integrated analytical platform are using, piloting, or investigating Hadoop; 16 percent are making use of the cloud for their primary databases; and 43 percent are virtualizing their primary databases, up six points since 2012. Specialized databases--NoSQL, graph, and in-memory databases--are also on the rise, handling high-scale Web apps, network analysis, and real-time analysis.
Read our 2013 State of Database Technology Survey to get the full story, including 44 pages of action-oriented analysis, packed with 38 charts. You'll find ratings of 14 selection criteria for database purchases and analysis of the top-five benefits of data warehouse appliances.

| | JOIN THE CONVERSATION Posted By Doug Henschen: "I guess the 8X to 25X didn't sound impressive enough. During last week's announcements, IBM database CTO Tim Vincent qualified that these are performance improvement figures for total workloads. Individual queries, he said, might increase in speed as much as 1000X. The gains are tied to columnar storage, which customers BNSF and Temenos talked a lot about. Hate to be negative, but columnar performance is not new news. It's just new to DB2." In reply to: Inside IBM's Big Data, Hadoop Moves View Entire Response | Post Your Own Reply  | | COMMENTARY Inside IBM's Big Data, Hadoop Moves Doug Henschen IBM made a series of high-profile analytics announcements on Wednesday from its Almaden Research Center in San Jose, Calif. This first announcement was BLU Acceleration, a combination of compression, in-memory analysis and vector-processing techniques that IBM says will drive huge improvements in relational database performance. The second announcement was IBM PureData System for Hadoop, an appliance-based platform that customers will be able to scale up by simply adding more boxes. If these announcements sound familiar it's because similar technologies have been the subject of announcements by plenty of competitors in recent years, but IBM contends it's setting new standards of performance. 7 Insights On Hiring Data Gurus Doug Henschen Despite the weak economy and zero growth in many IT salary categories, business intelligence (BI), analytics, information-integration, and data warehousing professionals are seeing a slow-but-steady rise in income. Our InformationWeek 2013 U.S. IT Salary Survey reveals that the median BI/analytics staff salary for 2013 is $90,000, up 1.8 percent from last year, according to 334 respondents in this category. The median BI/analytics manager salary is $119,000, up 2.2 percent from last year, according to 230 respondents. REPORTS & WHITEPAPERS FEATURED REPORTS
Best Practices: A Guide To Practical Database Monitoring
With so much important data at stake, many enterprises have come to realize that database activity monitoring is a critical element of both data and database security. DAM products are a mainstream data security technology, used by more than half of Fortune 500 companies. They help secure information and address compliance requirements in a manner no other product can. In this report, we take a look at how DAM operates in a live enterprise--what works, what doesn't, and how some of the benefits sold to customers are theoretically possible but often impractical.
