For many organizations today, data management comes down to handing over their data to one of the "Big 5" data vendors: Amazon, Microsoft Azure and Google, plus Snowflake and Databricks.
But analysts David Vellante and George Gilbert believe that the needs of modern data applications coupled with the evolution of open storage management may lead to the emergence of a "sixth data platform".
The sixth data platform hypothesis is that open data formats may enable interoperability, leading the transition away from vertically integrated vendor-controlled platforms towards independent management of data storage and permissions.
It's an interesting scenario, and one that would benefit users by forcing vendors to compete for every workload based on the business value delivered, irrespective of lock-in. But how close are we to realizing this?
To answer this question, we have to examine open data formats and their interoperability potential across clouds and formats, as well as on the semantics and governance layer.
We caught up with Peter Corless and Alex Merced to talk about all of that.

Orchestrate all the Things
Connecting the dots with George Anadiotis: Analyst, Consultant, Engineer, Founder, Host, Researcher, and Writer.
Stories about Tech, Data, AI and Media, and how they flow into each other shaping our lives.
I’ve engaged from the likes of Gary Marcus and Andrew Ng to emerging thinkers and innovators across multiple domains.
My stories have been featured on ZDNet and VentureBeat, and are syndicated across DZone, Hackernoon, Medium and Substack.
Some might call this futurism; let’s just say it’s connecting the dots
Many conversations have a technical focus. Most also examine business perspectives and use cases, while others are socio-technical.
Some are analyses on emerging themes – picking them up early, featuring expert comment, or offering alternative takes.
Others cover breaking news, typically also featuring the people behind them plus some analysis. There are some book reviews as well.
I focus on the connection between data, analytics, data science, graphs, machine learning and AI and their impact on society and business.
I have been covering topics related to:
- AI and Machine Learning
- Data, Analytics and Data Science
- Knowledge Graphs, Graph Databases, Graph AI & Data Science
- Innovation, and a wide array of technologies such as Blockchain, Cloud, Observability, IoT, Open Data and Open Source, Social Media and Software Engineering.
