A new survey from Evans Data found that 55.4 percent of those actively involved in cloud development projects said that big data was a primary driver in their organization’s decision to use cloud-based services. Those surveyed said that integration tools were the most important components for big data cloud computing services, and security tools were the second most important.
“Cloud service providers have to realize the need to provide specific tools to developers in their Cloud environments,” said Evans Data CEO Janel Garvin, “and those tools should include ones designed to handle Big Data, as the scalability and cost effectiveness of the Cloud paradigm are particularly cogent when related to Big Data.”
