The Roadmap to 'Hadoop in the Cloud'

The Roadmap to ‘Hadoop in the Cloud’

By Martijn Linssen on May 28, 2014

The Twitter ball started rolling again just now. Matt Asay posed an interesting question about Forrester suggesting Hadoop isn’t a great fit for the cloud. (Even) without context Vijay Vijayasankar and I started firing off questions and answers which inevitable led to my promise of writing down the transition plan for it Here it is I’ll start bottom-up, from […]

Teradata Labs President Scott Gnau discusses the evolving data analytics market

Teradata Labs President Scott Gnau discusses the evolving data analytics market

By Paul Miller on March 7, 2014

With all the noise around newer technologies such as Hadoop, it would be easy to assume that the data analytics space is new — and totally dominated by the NewSQL/ NoSQL tools pouring out of the world’s startups. It would be easy. But it would also be wrong. Data analytics, business intelligence, and related ideas are not new. […]

Rise Of Big Data On Cloud

Rise Of Big Data On Cloud

By Chirag Mehta on November 22, 2013

Growing up as an engineer and as a programmer I was reminded every step along the way that resources—computing as well as memory—are scarce. The programs were designed on these constraints. Then the cloud revolution happened and we told people not to worry about scarce computing. We saw rise of MapReduce, Hadoop, and countless other […]

Visualisation – the key that unlocks data’s value?

Visualisation – the key that unlocks data’s value?

By Paul Miller on April 29, 2013

As the Big Data hype machine continues its relentless attempt to gobble everything in its path, new business units and entire new domains buying into the promise find themselves faced with unanticipated data volume and complexity. They see the potential for data-based decision making, but still face (short-term?) challenges in actually managing, analysing or interpreting […]

Crunching the numbers in search of a greener cloud

Crunching the numbers in search of a greener cloud

By Paul Miller on July 17, 2012

Although sometimes portrayed as a big computer in the sky, the reality of cloud computing is far more mundane. Clouds run on physical hardware, located in data centres, connected to one another and to their customers via high speed networks. All of that hardware must be powered and cooled, and all of those offices must […]

The Right Storage, the Right Cloud

The Right Storage, the Right Cloud

By Randy Bias on June 28, 2012

We spend a lot of time in this blog talking about the architecture of elastic infrastructure clouds (EIC) like AWS and our own Open Cloud System. We contrast this against the architecture of enterprise virtualization clouds (EVC) like VCE’s Vblock. Nowhere are these differences more obvious than when you look at how storage systems are […]

4 Big Data Myths – Part I

By Chirag Mehta on April 2, 2012

It was cloud then and it’s Big Data now. Every time there’s a new disruptive category it creates a lot of confusion. These categories are not well-defined. They just catch on. What hurts the most is the myths. This is the first part of my two-part series to debunk Big Data myths. Myth # 4: […]

Next Iteration Of PaaS: Microsoft Game Plan

Next Iteration Of PaaS: Microsoft Game Plan

By Krishnan Subramanian on March 5, 2012

In January, I proposed a simple model for the next iteration of PaaS, called Intelligent Platforms, which is centered around data. As we move into a world dominated by Big Data with mobile and various sensors churning out data several orders of magnitude more than even the petabyte scale, data is the new oil for […]

Big Data needs Big Collection and Big Execution

By Martijn Linssen on December 4, 2011

Big Data is the new buzz it seems, and I must say I have been sceptic of it since I first saw the very word – or phrase, what is it? As an IT architect, I’ve always equaled data to databases, and information to applications – and knowledge to the people on top of these […]
