TIBCO Software has announced its acquisition of SnappyData, a provider of a Spark-based data platform.

The acquisition enhances the TIBCO Connected Intelligence platform and provides a unified analytics data fabric for streaming, data science, analytics and data management for a variety of use cases that need speed, agility and volume.
