Giants vs. Startups: Who is the Future of Enterprise Technology?

ImageThe world of enterprise technology is largely hidden behind all of the products and services businesses provide to consumers, but enterprise technology is critical to the success of businesses, and lately there have been some huge shakeups in that space. While the big news for most businesses has been the development of big data technology like Hadoop, the growing prevalence of cloud computing or the decreasing costs of flash storage, the big news for enterprise technology vendors is that a huge portion of that innovation is coming from startups and open source projects vs. the tech giants of the past.

Hadoop itself is an open source project that startups have now integrated with the cloud to offer big data services. Startups have also developed hybrid and other flash solutions to help cut costs and improve performance. Young companies have also been developing software largely targeted at helping business handle the data created by launching web and mobile services.

Some examples of startups and the technology they are offering include:

  • MobileIron: provides software solutions for BYOD and other mobile programs
  • Arista: A cloud service that specializes in high frequency trading along with offering big data solutions
  • Tegile: Offers hybrid arrays that leverage the speed of flash while using lower-cost disk to boost capacity. It claims that its particular product offers five times the performance with 75 percent less capacity required when compared to legacy arrays
  • PernixData: Offers a Flash Virtualization Platform which accelerate business applications through a scale out architecture that virtualizes server-side flash
  • FireEye: Created a virtual cyber-threat defense system that promises real-time protection

All of these startups have been fairly successful, landing big clients who are willing to pay a lot of money for what they have to offer. It seems the big names-Oracle, IBM, Dell-have fallen behind. Why is this? Large corporations take a lot more time and resources in order to explore a new market. While a startup can quickly take an idea and run with it, large corporations tend to follow behind either developing their own product or acquiring startups in order to expand. In fact, that could be the end result of this surge in development. The big players will use their large budgets and influence to slowly buy out the startups and retain their place as the industry leaders.

However, many of these startups are pushing forward on their own giving signs that they want to thrive on their own, not be bought out. MobileIron, for example, had raised $150 million in investor funding September of last year and is preparing for an IPO. FireEye also completed its IPO last year, earning about $304 million.

So who is driving the future of enterprise technology? Startups have definitely taken the lead when it comes to innovation, but in the long-run, it’s likely that many startups will be bought by the big-name giants, leaving only a few companies that go on to become common names in the enterprise space. Who exactly that will be is yet to be determined.
