Is There a Place for Big Data in SMB Markets?

When I first started working on Teradata's then and there-generation switch fabric, the BYNET, back in the early 90s, Teradata was around $250M in revenue. The concept of decision support systems evolved into data warehousing and grew to become the largest pool of enterprise data for those enterprises who had  a large enough business to create meaningful amounts of data, and who had the money to invest in their data infrastructure.

Companies like Teradata will benefit from new earnings from acquisitions like AsterData, and integration with Hadoop. Companies like Oracle will as well benefit from integration with Hadoop.
