Don DeLoach weighs in on the future of big data and analytics

I had a great spotlight interview with Don DeLoach, CEO of Infobright. We talked about a lot of things including Hadoop, columnar databases, big data, analytics and the new capabilities of Infobright 4. Don even provided his prediction about what we can expect in the future regarding big data. Here's part of what he had to say:
"I do believe that people are starting to realize that there's not going to be one silver bullet. It's not going to be one specific technology that solves everybody's problems, but it's more likely to be a coexistence of technologies put together in the right way, in the right combination, to solve the right problems tomorrow better than they could have today."
Here's a link to the full interview.
