Oracle and Big Data

When people talk about Oracle, they first think about its RDBMS (relational database). After Oracle acquired so many companies including BEA and Sun, people know about its Java and Weblogic. So where is Oracle's Big Data product?

On its own site, Oracle provides the information about its products to help customers acquire and organize big data and analyze them alongside customers' existing data to find new insights and make better business decision. Oracle's Big Data platform provides end-to-end solution - all the components the customers need to get real results from their big data initiatives.
