Summary

Forrester identified the 11 most significant software providers — Aerospike, DataStax, IBM, Kognitio, MemSQL, Microsoft, Oracle, SAP, Starcounter, Teradata, and VoltDB — in the category and researched, analyzed, and scored them against 19 criteria. This report details how well each vendor fulfills Forrester's criteria and where the vendors stand in relation to each other to meet next-generation real-time data requirements.
