The Growing Universe of Big Data and Hadoop – A Graphical view of Funding, M&A and Partnerships (Updated May 2012)

Here is a quick graphic which I last updated May 2012 which visualizes some of the funding, M&A and partnerships related to the growing universe of Big Data and of course Hadoop.

Note that in certain categories there are a mix of companies and technologies.
The graphic is a work in progress and does NOT include RainStor (my current employer and a major player in Big Data and Hadoop – for confidentiality and conflict of interest reasons. RainStor is an enterprise database deployed by over 150 companies, running on any platform including Hadoop, that has the best compression in the market, full SQL access and accelerates the performance of MapReduce processing)

The partnership lines in the graphic below converge on Hadoop market leader Cloudera, followed rapidly by Hortonworks who has made significant partnering progress since their launch.
