It’s flattering that Entrepreneur / VentureBeat chose StreamBase as one of the technologies that will continue to lead a siege against the $15 billlion database market, but the truth is that there are multiple technologies in the real-time computing stack required to make this happen, including high speed connectivity, column-oriented data stores and CEP.
Event-based platforms are about real-time computing; databases, business intelligence, and data warehouses are about looking at what happened in the past. By combining the two to operate on streaming data, you create an optimal platform for the real-time enterprise.
So watch for the seige on this market to continue as data management techniques help corporations find needles before they go into the haystack of corporate databases.
