在Gartner***一期的webinar“Hadoop的2016, 進入主流”中，Gartner在數據庫和大數據領域的資深分析師Merv Adrian與Nick Heudecker回顧了2015年Hadoop市場的發展并對2016年做了展望。他們預測，2016年全球的Hadoop軟件的銷售額對比2015年將會翻倍。同時，他們還向全球的客戶正式介紹了國際Hadoop市場的新成員——來自中國的星環科技。他們提到：

　　“市場中出現了一個新成員——來自中國的星環科技。星環科技由原英特爾Hadoop發行版的開發團隊成立。星環科技圍繞著自己的Hadoop發行版提供了一系列健全的工具和服務，使得產品有廣泛的應用。星環科技是一家非常有意思的公司。他們今年有兩位高管參加了紐約的Strata會議，可能是有意向試水國際市場。而在中國的市場，星環科技已經有幾百個客戶，它的產品是一個非常全面的軟件平臺，最值得一提的是，這個平臺支持PL/SQL!我們發現，像這樣和其他產品整合的方式正在成為主流。”

 

　　這是繼十月初Wikibon對其創始人孫元浩采訪后，星環科技又一次獲得國際權威機構的矚目和積極的評價。星環科技的影響力可見一斑。

　　A Chinese Big Data Company is on Gartner’s Radar

　　In its latest webinar, Hadoop 2016: Moving Into Mainstream, analysts Merv Adrian and Nick Heudecker discussed the current state of the market for Hadoop as well as its expected state in 2016. They expected that, by the end of 2015, software revenue for pure play Hadoop to have at least doubled compared to 2014. They also commented that the market would see a lot of expansions of footprints for Hadoop in 2016, as organizations that had built their pilots are getting into larger projects.

　　What was more, Merv and Nick brought to the attention of Gartner’s global customers a Hadoop vendor from China by the name of Transwarp. They said,

　　“There is a new player in the market, ... a company from China by the name of Transwarp, which was put together by the same folks who built the Intel distribution for Hadoop for a brief time within the market before Intel jumped in and made a major investment in Cloudera. This organization has a large and quite robust portfolio of things they are building around their Hadoop distribution to make it more broadly applicable. It is a very interesting company. They had two executives in New York at Strata walking around looking at everything that was going on, so one suspect that they are thinking about whether to get into the market outside what’s an enormous potential market in China, where they already have hundreds of customers. ... It is a very comprehensive software platform. Most interestingly, they have PL/SQL compatibility! And those kinds of integration with the rest of fabric are becoming an increasing theme.”

　　This is the second time Transwarp has caught the attention of organizations outside of China in a short span of a little more than two weeks. Stay tuned for what Transwarp has to offer to the Hadoop market as its influence expands internationally.
