How Broad Is Your Database's Data Ecosystem? Gartner Takes A Look
datanami, Friday, January 5th, 2024
The days of databases existing as islands unto themselves are over, according to Gartner, which reports the existence of a strong and growing signal for cloud databases to become part of 'broader data ecosystems.'
Last month, the analyst group rated the ecosystem participation of the top databases, and the results might surprise you.
In mid-December, Gartner released its 2023 Magic Quadrant for Cloud DBMS (CDBMS), which analyzed the market for transactional and analytical databases running in public and private clouds. Nineteen cloud DBMS vendors made the final cut for the quadrant, which was dominated by the likes of AWS, Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud, and Oracle.
A major trend identified by the Gartner analysts is the co-mingling of standard database features and capabilities with the features and capabilities offered in the broader market for data management tools, which have traditionally resided outside of the DBMS proper.
