 | |  | | Doug Henschen | | | | | Pivotal, the company spun out of EMC and VMware on April 1, formally announced its launch on Wednesday, unveiling a truly grand plan. In fact, if you consider all the components and ambitions, you might conclude the plan is either brilliant or crazy.
The need for Pivotal's promised "next-generation enterprise computing platform" starts with the premise that there has been a fundamental shift in IT, with Internet consumer giants like Google, Facebook, and Amazon pioneering large-scale data-management approaches and rapid application-development capabilities supported by unprecedented levels of automation.
Pivotal faces the complexity of coordinating multiple EMC- and VMware-contributed technologies that weren't developed or designed to work together. The firm must also satisfy the needs of the divergent constituencies responsible for providing compute capacity, data-management and analytics, and application-development capabilities. Will inroads in any one of these areas naturally translate into opportunities in another? Or will professionals in each camp stick with favored, best-of-breed services and providers? Read More.

Our partners, Amazon and Google, have gotten cloud infrastructure right, and MapR is proud to be part of their architecture. We don't see how 10-year-old Postgres databases and database caching technologies create a revolution."

Research: 2013 BI/Analytics Salary Survey
Companies know that advanced analytics can give them a competitive advantage, but how do they get there? With 44 percent of staffers in our salary survey saying one of their top duties is "designing and revising reports" and just 12 percent of managers and 10 percent of staff focusing on tasks that can help predict performance, it appears there's still a long road ahead.
Our InformationWeek 2013 U.S. IT Salary Survey reveals that business intelligence/analytics and data integration/data warehousing salaries are slowly but steadily climbing, according to 806 respondents in these categories. The median total compensation for managers in these categories is $130,000.
