Big Data Adoption Trends in India

Big Data is fast becoming mainstream in Indian businesses. The data growth has led companies to look at technologies that help them efficiently and affordably manage their data.


EMC, the storage giant, has released the findings of a survey that asked IT decision makers in India for their perspective on the challenges and opportunities that Big Data and IT transformation – and related skills – can present to their companies. According to the company, the India results will be added among the thirty-six country-level survey results being collected through EMC Forum events taking place around the world between June and November 2013. Visit EMC Forum for a closer look at the India survey results and those of other countries as they become available.
