This IDC study provides a sizing of the nonrelational database management systems market in 2011 and a 2012–2016 forecast for this market. "The DBMS world has reach a tipping point, where slumping older style prerelational DBMSs, mostly on mainframe, are giving way to new nonrelational DBMS technologies that can handle a wide range of workloads outside of the relational sphere," said Carl Olofson, research vice president for database management and data integration software research at IDC. "Awareness of, and demand for, Big Data processing will open up market opportunities for DBMS software that addresses this area, especially that of dynamic schema DBMS, graph DBMS, and some object-oriented DBMS."
