Top 20 Hadoop Companies - 2017

With the demand for big data technologies proliferating at a lightning pace, Hadoop lies at the center of the big data revolution. The assurance of low-cost, high-availability storage and computational processing power has drawn many organizations to the distributed data storage framework. Disrupting the enterprise data management architecture arena, Hadoop is labeled as the default market standard for business intelligence.
