This week EMC World 2012 grabbed a big portion of the headlines in big data, spilling into an unsurprisingly large number of segments that includes analytics.

The whole armada of the storage giant’s partners and resellers attended EMC World this year, including Talend. The BI software maker announced that its flagship platform has been integrated with every single Greenplum product on the market today, tapping into the clientele that use the latter’s unstructured data solutions in Hadoop environments that can leverage the addition of visualized dashboards.

EMC’s annual event was one of this week’s biggest highlights, but there were others as well. A startup called Precog received $2 million in a first round of funding for a cloud-based app that makes analytics available to organizations, and even individual developers, with a tight budget.

The subscription-based service handles tasks such as analyzing tweets that mention a given brand name, and allows the user to build a new feature or capability on top of it. Precog features a visualized interface that simplifies this process to a great extent.

Objectify in turn has a very different take on big data, and also had some news this week. The company publicized of its recent milestones, mainly the addition of 14 new clients and a number of partners in the past few months.  The database software maker took the opportunity to reaffirm its position two days after NetApp posted some growth figures of its own.

The storage vendor released an infographic that forecasts the state of the web by the end of this year.  As of today the exponential increase in the size of the internet is only expected to expand – it will reach the 2 zettabyte mark by the end of this year, and in three years that number will quadruple.
