Zoomdata Named to CRN’s 2017 Big Data 100 List

SAN MATEO, Calif., May 01, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Zoomdata, developers of the world's fastest visual analytics platform for big data, announced today that CRN_®, a brand of The Channel Company, has named them to its 2017 Big Data 100 list. This annual list recognizes the ingenuity of tech suppliers bringing to market innovative offerings for harnessing the increasingly huge amounts of data generated in today’s digital world, raising the bar for data management and challenging established IT practices.   

Among other accolades, Zoomdata was also included in CRN’s 50 Coolest Business Analytics Vendors, debuted in the visionary quadrant in the 2017 Gartner Magic Quadrant for Business Intelligence and Analytics Platforms and was also named a 2016 Cool Vendor by Gartner. In addition, the company was named a Ventana Research 2016 Technology Innovation Award for Operational Intelligence, and received the Top Ranking in the 2016 Annual Big Data Analytics Market Study from Dresner Advisory Services.

Organizations are constantly grappling with the exploding volume, speed and variety of information they produce and utilize on a daily basis to remain competitive. Solution providers are on a never-ending quest to tame this big data with innovative tools, technologies and services that can convert it into meaningful, usable statistics.

In response to this challenge, the CRN editorial team has identified the IT vendors at the forefront of data management, business analytics and infrastructure technologies and services. The resulting Big Data 100 list is a valuable guide for solution providers seeking out key big data technology suppliers.

As the industry rapidly matures from the relational database era of tens of millions of records of structured transactional data to the Big Data 1.0 Apache Hadoop era of batch processing of hundreds of millions of structured and unstructured interaction data, industry today faces the challenges of Big Data 2.0 -- processing tens to hundreds of billions of rows of structured, unstructured and streaming data. In this age of observational data, customers face data volumes that are an order of magnitude larger than ever before.

“Businesses everywhere are faced with managing information streams of unprecedented volume and complexity, requiring more powerful and efficient tools than ever before for capturing, storing, organizing, securing and analyzing data,” said Robert Faletra, CEO of The Channel Company. “CRN is pleased to present the 2017 Big Data 100, a list of vendors whose ingenuity and creative problem-solving have introduced remarkable new ways to help solution providers tackle this mammoth task. Congratulations to these Big Data aces, who have not only kept pace with the rapidly evolving demands of the data management field, but also innovated and challenged the status quo.”       

“The past 12 months have really been a breakthrough time for Zoomdata,” said Nick Halsey, CMO of Zoomdata. “We continue to expand abroad, adding new customers and partners in the US and around the world, and we are being recognized by top industry publications and analysts.”
