David Menninger's Analyst Perspectives

It’s part of my job to cover the ecosystem of Hadoop, the open source big data technology, but sometimes it makes my head spin.  If this is not your primary job, how can you possibly keep up?  I hope that a discussion of what I’ve found to be most important will help those who don’t have the time and energy to devote to this wide-ranging topic. 

Analyst Perspective Policy

Ventana Research’s Analyst Perspectives are fact-based analysis and guidance on business, industry and technology vendor trends.  Each Analyst Perspective presents the view of the analyst who is an established subject matter expert on new developments, business and technology trends, findings from our research, or best practice insights. 

Each is prepared and reviewed in accordance with Ventana Research’s strict standards for accuracy and objectivity and reviewed to ensure it delivers reliable and actionable insights.  It is reviewed and edited by research management and is approved by the Chief Research Officer; no individual or organization outside of Ventana Research reviews any Analyst Perspective before it is published.  If you have any issue with an Analyst Perspective, please email them to ChiefResearchOfficer@ventanaresearch.com
