It's ironic that two vendors are so desperately trying to convince people that there is no issue with storing large amounts of data with them because it is so trivial to get it out. Never taking into account the dependencies that are created (and then broken if you try to move the data). Dependencies include: Latency and Bandwidth, Data that you don't own, the sheer volume of the data (try moving 10PB around), proprietary or specialized APIs, regulatory, and cost...
- ceejayoz 14y agoNone of those dependencies are unique to the two vendors. With large amounts of data, most of those apply, even if you're on a fully open stack.
- mccrory 14y agoAbsolutely agree, there is no magic fix for the effects that Data Gravity has (there are ways to lessen the effects). The only exception is in the API, a fully open stack gives you greater portability of your app and export of your data is easier because transformation isn't required (just export/import or replication/copy).
