Data Management Trends You Need to Know
Intel Capital’s Assaf Araki and I both focus on data, analytics, and machine learning, thus we regularly hear pitches from startups building new data management solutions. Data management is a broad area that includes solutions for different workloads, data types, and use cases. Our post lists reasons and key trends underlying our bullishness in this space, along with considerations data teams and platform architects should keep in mind as they evaluate data management solutions in the months to come.
