Hadoop in the Cloud
Traditional on-premises data centers have long been the domain of modern data
platforms like Apache Hadoop, meaning companies who build their business on
public cloud were challenged to run Big Data processing and analytics at
scale. But recent advancements in Hadoop performance, security, and most
importantly cloud-native integrations, are giving organizations the ability
to truly gain value from all their data.

In his session at 19th Cloud Expo, David Tishgart, Director of Product
Marketing at Cloudera, covered the ins and outs of Hadoop, and how it can
help cloud-based businesses.

Due of the rise of Hadoop, many enterprises are now deploying their first
small clusters of 10 to 20 servers.
At this small scale, the complexity of operating the cluster looks and feels
like general data center servers.
It is not until the clusters scale, as they inevitably do, when the pain
caused by the exponential complexity becomes apparent. We've seen this
problem occur time and time again.
In his session at Big Data Expo, Greg Bruno, Vice President of Engineering
and co-founder of StackIQ, described why clusters are so different from farms
of single-purpose servers that reside in traditional data centers, and why
without an automated solution that can address the cluster requirements, real
pain is coming and failure is certain.

Making Apache Hadoop Less Retro: Bringing Standards to Big Data
Ten short years ago, Apache Hadoop was just a small project deployed on a few
machines at Yahoo and within a few years, it had truly become the backbone of
Yahoo's data infrastructure. Additionally, the current Apache Hadoop market
is forecasted to surpass $16 billion by 2020.
This might lead you to believe that Apache Hadoop is currently the backbone
of data infrastructures for all enterprises; however, widespread enterprise
adoption has been shockingly low.
While the platform is a key technology for gaining business insights from
organizational Big Data, its penetration into enterprises has not lived up to
Hadoop's game-changing business potential. In fact, according to Gartner,
"Despite considerable hype and reported successes for early adopters, 54
percent of survey respondents report no plans to inv... (more)

Apache Hadoop Is Retro: Unlocking Business Value
Apache Hadoop is a key technology for gaining business insights from your Big
Data, but the penetration into enterprises is shockingly low. In fact, Apache
Hadoop and Big Data proponents recognize that this technology has not yet
achieved its game-changing business potential.
In his session at 19th Cloud Expo, John Mertic, director of program
management for ODPi at The Linux Foundation, will explain why this is, how we
can work together as an open data community to increase adoption, and the
importance of open source-based Big Data standardization to help unlock more
business value for Apache Hadoop initiatives.

"DevOps is really about the business. The business is under pressure today,
competitively in the marketplace to respond to the expectations of the
customer. The business is driving IT and the problem is that IT isn't
responding fast enough," explained Mark Levy, Senior Product Marketing

Deploying applications in hybrid cloud environments is hard work. Your team
spends most of the time maintaining your infrastructure, configuring dev/test
and production environments, and deploying applications across environments -
which can be both time consuming and error prone. But what if you could
automate provisioning and deployment to deliver error free environments
faster? What could you do with your free time?
Join our experts to learn about how IBM UrbanCode Deploy and IBM
PureApplication provide a powerful combination of technologies that
accelerate application deployment from days or weeks to just minutes -

In the run-up to the next Cloud Expo, 7th Cloud Expo (November 1–4, 2010)
being held at the Santa Clara Convention Center in Silicon Valley, it's time
to give my earlier list a complete overhaul.
Here, accordingly, is an expanded list of the most active players in the
Cloud Ecosystem.
I have increased it from the 'mere' 150 I identified back in January of this
year, to 250, testimony – as if any were needed! – to the fierce and
continuing growth of the "Elastic IT" paradigm throughout the world of
enterprise computing.
Editorial note: The words in quotation marks used to describe the various
services and solutions in this round-up are in every case taken from the Web
sites of the companies themselves. Omissions to this Top 250 list should be
sent to me via Twitter (twitter.com/jg21) and I will endeavor to include them
in any future revision of this newly expanded rou... (more)
The speed at which data is generated, consumed, processed, and analyzed is
increasing at an unbelievably rapid pace. Social media, the Internet of
Things, ad tech, and gaming verticals are struggling to deal with the
disproportionate size of data sets. These industries demand data processing
and analysis in near real-time. Traditional Big Data-styled frameworks such
as Apache Hadoop are not well-suited for these use cases.
As a result, multiple open source projects have been started in the last few
years to deal with the streaming data. All were designed to
process a never-ending sequence of records originating from more than one
source. From Kafka to Beam, there are over a dozen Apache projects in various
stages of completion.
With a high overlap, the current Apache streaming projects address similar
scenarios. Users often find it confusing to choose the right open... (more)
Actian Corporation has announced the latest version of the Actian Vector in
Hadoop (VectorH) database, generally available at the end of July. VectorH is
based on the same query engine that powers Actian Vector, which recently
doubled the TPC-H benchmark record for non-clustered systems at the 3000GB
scale factor (see tpc.org/3323).
The ability to easily ingest information from different data sources and
rapidly develop queries to make better business decisions is becoming
increasingly important, particularly for those companies looking to respond
to changes real-time or explore machine-learning. When paired with Actian
VectorH, the industry's fastest Enterprise SQL database that sits natively in
Hadoop, Spark users have a new powerful way to help derive true business
value from their data.

Feb. 12, 2017 12:00 AM EST Reads: 1,038 | By Liz McMillan  WebRTC has had a real tough three or four years, and so have those working with it. Only a few short years ago, the development world were excited about WebRTC and proclaiming how awesome it was.
You might have played with the technology a couple of years ago, only to find the extra infrastructure requirements were painful to implement and poorly documented. This probably left a bitter taste in your mouth, especially when things went wrong.

We have an excess of wearables – activity trackers, smartwatches, smart glasses and sneakers, and more that track seemingly endless datapoints. However, most consumers have no idea what “IoT” means. Creating more wearables that track data shouldn't be the aim of brands; delivering meaningful, tangible relevance to their users should be. We're in a period in which the IoT pendulum is still swinging. Initially, it swung toward "smart for smart...

How did factories in Japan improve physical security at the facilities and improve employee productivity?
Edge Computing reduces possible kilobytes of data collected per second to only a few kilobytes of data transmitted to the public cloud every day. Data is aggregated and analyzed close to sensors so only intelligent results need to be transmitted to the cloud. Non-essential data is recycled to optimize storage.
