Splunk - Transforming Big Data into Real-Time Insights for Operational Intelligence
451 Research recently published a report stating that the data market is expected to nearly double in size in just five years (from USD 69.6 billion in revenue in 2015 to USD 132.3 billion in 2020), with operational database vendors generating the bulk of that revenue. This in turn is expected to set a big push to address unstructured data in addition to existing structured data processing and analytics technologies.
