According to a recent press release, “AtScale, the first company to provide enterprises with a fast and secure self-service analytics platform for Big Data, announced today the results of the 2016 Big Data Maturity Survey.  Based on 2,550+ responses from big data professionals at 1,400 companies across 77 countries, the report reveals new and unexpected insights about Cloud, Big Data, Business Intelligence, Hadoop and Spark. A complimentary copy of the report can be downloaded here.”

The release goes on, “Amongst many other insights, the survey reveals a surge in Cloud deployments for Big Data.  More than half of respondents deploy Big Data in the Cloud today and 72% plan on doing so in the future. ‘There’s been a clear surge in use of Big Data in the Cloud over the last year and what’s perhaps as interesting, is the fact that respondents are far more likely to achieve tangible value when their data is in the Cloud,’ explains AtScale CTO and co-founder Matt Baird.”

The release notes that the study benefited from primarily mature and experienced respondents: “Close to 70% have been using Big Data for more than a year (vs. 59% last year). 74% of respondents have more than 10 nodes, close to 20% have more than 100 nodes. 95% of respondents have achieved positive value or are anticipating they will.” Key findings include, “97% will do as much or more with Big Data over the next 3 months. More than 53% of respondents are using Cloud for their Big Data deployment today; 14% of respondents have ALL their Big Data in the Cloud. 72% of respondents plan on deploying Big Data in the Cloud. Two-thirds (66%) view Big Data as ‘Strategic’ or ‘Game Changing’, while only 19% of respondents consider it ‘Experimental’.”
