I've added a link to Wikibon's revenue and market forecast report - commodity hardware is very prevalent in hyperscale (Google/Facebook) and some other environments. It is an upward trend based on what we see, but note that enterprise IT needs full solutions more than cost savings, so for the near future, commodity will be seen in cloud and service providers more than enterprise data centers.

Given that many enterprise Hadoop deployments are sandboxes it's likely they're running on commodity hardware. Note I've said Hadoop, not so-called Big Data. If your definition of big data transcends Hadoop (which ours does) the trend will be less pronounced.
There are two countervailing trends here: 1/ more and more deployments are moving toward commodity hardware. It's part of the software-led trend we've been covering; 2/ a lot practitioners feel commodity-based approaches are not ready for prime time. As such we'll see many more big data deployments use traditional stacks.
Long term the trend is clear - the trend to commodity based hardware platforms is inevitable. If your a practitioner you need to plan on the implications.

How much of the $2.3B commodty hardware market is in cloud Service Providers like Amazon and Rackspace vs. web2.0 companies like Facebook Google using commodity Hardware for their own big data deployments?
What percent accounts for big data service providers (potentially a high growth market)?
Thank you
