What is IBM’s position in
the marketplace?

8. © 2014 IBM Corporation8
At a logical level nothing much has changed in 20 years…(or more)...
…but atomically a transformation has, and is taking place…

9. © 2014 IBM Corporation9
A simplified view of the Big Data and Analytics stack created in 2011
remains broadly relevant to most of the marketplace…
The Big Data Stack
Data growth curve:
 Megabytes -> Gigabytes ->
Terabytes -> Petabytes -> Exabytes -
> Zettabytes -> Yottabytes ->
Brontobytes -> Geopbytes
Analytical Infrastructure curve:
 Databases -> Datamarts ->
Operational Data Stores (ODS) ->
Enterprise Data Warehouses -> Data
Appliances -> In-Memory Appliances
-> NoSQL Databases -> Hadoop
Clusters > MPP Databases > Triple
Stores > Quad Stores > Graphs
