IBM has added analytics and Oracle compatibility to its Platform as a Service (PaaS) offering, Bluemix. As data creation increases due to the realisation of IoT it appears that every company has its own solution to deal with the data and analytics, but according to Nigel Moulton, CTO, VCE, this won’t last. These additions have been aimed at developers to entice them to include new analytics capabilities into cloud-based applications. The company is also adding support for the Apache Hadoop ecosystem in order to help it compete with Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Microsoft Azure.
