The Briefing Room with Dr. Robin Bloor and RedPoint Global Live Webcast on April 8, 2014 Watch the archive: https://bloorgroup.webex.com/bloorgroup/lsr.php?RCID=cfa1bffdd62dc6677fa225bdffe4a0b9 The innovation curve often arcs slowly before picking up speed. Companies that harness a major transformation early in the game can make serious headway before challengers enter the picture. The world of Hadoop features several of these upstarts, each of which uses the open-source foundation as an engine to drive vastly greater performance to a wide range of services, and even create new ones. Register for this episode of The Briefing Room to hear veteran Analyst Dr. Robin Bloor explain how the Hadoop engine is being used to architect a new generation of enterprise applications. He’ll be briefed by George Corugedo, RedPoint Global CTO and Co-founder, who will showcase how enterprises can cost-effectively take advantage of the scalability, processing power and lower costs that Hadoop 2.0/YARN applications offer by eliminating the long-term expense of hiring MapReduce programmers.

Perceptions & Questions
Analyst:
Robin Bloor

25. Where Is That
Elephant Going?
Robin Bloor, Ph.D.

26. The Key-Value Store is Back!
u General purpose key-value
stores used to be
called ISAM files
u They were available on
Mainframes (VSAM) and
DEC VAX (RMS) and other
minicomputers
u But not on Unix or
Windows or Linux
u Well now they’re back,
and they’re scalable
WHAT DID WE LIKE
ABOUT THEM?

27. The Open Source Landscape
u Hadoop + components
• The data reservoir
• The archive store
• The analytics sandbox
u Machine Learning
Algorithms
• Raw power
u The R Language
• Over 1 million users
These are COMPONENTS
of a solution

28. A Process Not an Activity
u Data Analytics is a multi-disciplinary
end-to-end
process
u Until recently it was a
walled-garden, but the
walls were torn down by…
• Data availability
• Scalable technology
• Open source tool
u Hadoop has a role here

29. The Evolution of Hadoop
u There were many
components before YARN
and Tez
u But YARN and Tez have
changed the picture
u MapReduce is now an
option
u Most likely Hadoop will
become the default
scale out file system and
the OS for data flow

30. The Hadoop Ecosystem
u Even though it may
not seem so, Hadoop
is in its infancy
u Hadoop’s popularity
guarantees its future
u Its future is also
guaranteed by its
commercial
ecosystem
u That’s the Open
Source Way

31. u Do you see Hadoop as a replacement for the data
warehouse?
u Which specific components of the Hadoop
ecosystem do you always (or nearly always)
employ?
u Which other technologies/products do you
integrate with?
u How does a RedPoint engagement normally pan
out?

32. u What do you see as the natural business
applications for Hadoop (and its ecosystem)?
u Do you think there any natural industry specific
(i.e., vertical) applications?
u Which companies/technologies do you see as
competitive with RedPoint
