  • PaaS on Hadoop Yarn

    PaaS on Hadoop Yarn – Idea and Prototype is looking at what’s missing to offer PaaS with Hadoop Yarn: YARN is the next generation Hadoop MapReduce architecture.

  • Say goodbye to search and hello to BrainSpace

    Good stuff – tell me what I want to do now! What PureDiscovery really wants to do — and what it’s working on for some customers — is build interest graphs for every user within the company. Aside from determining relationships between documents, that also means determining relationships between people, and between people and documents.…

  • What the Yammer Acquisition Says About Microsoft

    Microsoft posted its first ever loss just when it finally completed the Yammer acquisition. Let’s see if Yammer will have been a success or failure 4-5 years down the line… Microsoft chose […] to pay that fortune for an existing application with a relatively modest user base and revenues.

  • Nodeable gives Hadoop a real-time boost with StreamReduce

    Analytics for the Sysadmin… used to be called Event Management, and taking ages to deploy, configure and optimize. Now the guys can just create their own analytics jobs. Sounds like a winner to me! Rather than just produce a stream of tweet-like alerts to sysadmins, Nodeable would actually alert them to anomalies and emerging patterns…

    What would tech news be without rumours and speculation? Anyway, this could make sense from multiple angles, be it risk mitigation or just a new setup that allows EMC and VMware each to focus on the core infra assets that they sell to the enterprise, and takes a lot of the other stuff into a…

  • Startup Connection Cloud aims to free your SaaS data

    Cool idea, difficult to pull off at enterprise quality if the data source providers don’t cooperate and offer stable APIs (but even then…) It’s not easy to get Salesforce.com data to work with NetSuite data, for example.

  • Why the days are numbered for Hadoop as we know it

    GigaOm kicked off some good discussion in Why the days are numbered for Hadoop as we know it: Hadoop is everywhere. For better or worse, it has become synonymous with big data. In just a few years it has gone from a fringe technology to the de facto standard. Want to be big bata or…

  • What will the Internet look like in 2020?

    Not sure how I suddenly stumbled upon this one from early 2011, but it’s interesting nevertheless. A database developer’s (Couchbase co-founder J Chris Anderson) take on the future internet: Remember “web accelerators”? They’ll be back with a vengeance.
