  • Hadoop Update

    There are a few articles collecting dust in my feed reader from a period a couple months ago when I didn’t have much time staying up to date on what’s happening… here’s the rundown of the most important stuff about Hadoop.

  • Exadata Performance Architect moving to EMC’s Greenplum

    Now that’s a thing: Kevin Closson Joins EMC Data Computing Division To Focus On Greenplum Performance Engineering! Kevin’s been the public voice of Exadata in the blogosphere for much of four years, so that’s quite a loss for the folks at Oracle. And a big win for EMC, I would say. Good luck, Kevin!

Interesting to see that the impression is that Greenplum got thrown out more for reliability reasons than performance. EBay also was repeatedly mentioned as a key customer using the MapReduce integration piece in the past, there’s also an…

  • Simplification Through Specialization

    Ramon Chen’s post Simplification Through Specialization (later repeated on the Rainstor blog) rang quite a bell with me, also on the personal level. But here’s why specialization is better for some: If you were going to spend big bucks, you’d expect results and performance to match your use cases and requirements. With Big Data upon…

  • EMC buying Greenplum

    I had such a busy day that I didn’t get to post about EMC buying Greenplum. But there’s a good side to the delay too, because now I get to link to all the other folks who were faster than I, and have something to say on the topic. EMC To Acquire Greenplum EMC is…
