Hi John,

Thanks for your question. Cisco is working with a number of leading ISV providers to bring big data solutions to market. The three types of big data analytics solutions that Cisco supports are Hadoop, NoSQL, and MPP databases. However, the majority of deployments we are seeing currently are Hadoop deployments from a variety of ISV's. Some of the more popular distributions of Hadoop that we support include Cloudera, Hortonworks, Intel, and MapR. However there are a number of other distributions that Cisco supports with our Cisco Common Platform Architecture (CPA). For a more complete list and to find the most recent solution briefs, you can take a look at our Cisco Big Data web page at: http://www.cisco.com/go/bigdata

Regarding Oracle, they do offer a release of Oracle NoSQL that Cisco also supports with Cisco CPA that has gained some traction in the market.

Thanks again for your comment and I hope this was helpful.

Best Regards,

Scott
