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)

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.

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

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.

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)
There’s a big scorch mark where server sales used to be according to IDC,
which put out its worst-since-records-have-been-kept Q2 figures Wednesday,
hoping that with the installed base growing increasing hoary with age buyers
are starting to replace them.
The researcher said factory revenue in the worldwide server market declined
30.1% to $9.8 billion in Q2, the fourth consecutive quarter of revenue
decline.
Server shipments declined 30.4%, worse than the 26.5% decline of Q1.
No type of server was spared. Volume systems dropped 30% with the lowest
revenues since ‘03; mid-range fell 28.1% and the high-end 32%. IDC said it
was the third consecutive quarter that all three server segments fell.
Everybody did poorly. IBM’s worldwide revenue dropped 26.3%, HP’s 30.4%
and Dell’s 26.8%. Sun’s results were the worst, down 37.2% with Fujitsu

We’re starting to see predictions about what’s going to be hot in enterprise technology in 2017. Cloud (yet again), Blockchain, Big Data / Analytics, Internet of Things (IoT) are all among the top of the list. However, it was Krish Subrumanian’s humorous tweet that started me thinking about what will be the single most important contribution from the enterprise technology community in 2016. While all the aforementioned technologies will certainly see a lot of interest and growth, they’re all en...
I’m told that it has been 21 years since Scrum became public when Jeff Sutherland and I presented it at an Object-Oriented Programming, Systems, Languages & Applications (OOPSLA) workshop in Austin, TX, in October of 1995. Time sure does fly. Things mature. I’m still in the same building and at the same company where I first formulated Scrum.[1] Initially nobody knew of Scrum, yet it is now an open source body of knowledge translated into more than 30 languages[2] People use Scrum worldwide for ...
Once again, we find ourselves at the dawn of a new year.
And many would say, not a moment too soon. With a series of tumultuous elections around the world and an unusual number of celebrity passings, it's been a rough year.
But there is at least one bright spot from 2016: Intellyx's digital transformation prognostications were close to spot on!
As is our tradition, each year we review last year's predictions and make all new fresh ones! This year, it is my turn to review Jason's 2016 predicti...
Thanks to the Internet of Things (IoT), our world is more automated and connected than ever before. Just about everything, from cars to refrigerators, to coffee machines, has the ability to connect to the Internet, allowing us to micromanage each individual device. This type of automation is an exciting direction for the world to be moving in and the benefits it brings to businesses are huge.
Synthetic monitoring is hardly a new technology. It’s been around almost as long as the commercial World Wide Web has. But the importance of monitoring the performance and availability of a web application by simulating users’ interactions with that application, from around the globe, has never been more important. We’ve seen prominent vendors in the broad APM space add this technology with new development or partnerships just in the last 18 months.
JavaScript redefined web applications ushering in a new era of dynamic websites with fluid responsive designs. It has gained a strong following among developers, popular libraries and frameworks like JQuery and Angular JS are all built with JavaScript. The endless design possibilities that JavaScript provides coupled with the numerous libraries available today makes it an indispensable part of web application development.
If there are two departments that have undergone huge changes in recent years, it’s development and operations, and 2017 looks likely to see this trend continue. What’s on the horizon for the often dev-centric DevOps teams and operations in particular?

With artificial intelligence and big data making prominent waves in industries everywhere, IBM is offering several new cloud services that will pair with their BlueMix service. It will offer better organization, smoother data generation, and accelerated migration to the cloud. Ultimately, businesses can experience greater effectiveness in every department. 
Programmable network connectivity and network overlay technologies like Docker libnetwork, Weave Net, and Calico are essential tools for DevOps engineers using orchestration tools to manage and deploy Docker containers in production. Because network troubleshooting and optimization falls within the jurisdiction of DevOps, it’s vital that DevOps engineers understand exactly how network overlays work. 
Monitoring of Docker environments is challenging. Why? Because each container typically runs a single process, has its own environment, utilizes virtual networks, or has various methods of managing storage. Traditional monitoring solutions take metrics from each server and applications they run. These servers and applications running on them are typically very static, with very long uptimes. Docker deployments are different: a set of containers may run many applications, all sharing the resource...
One thing I have learned so far this holiday season is that a 15 pound turkey is too big for only 4 people!

Here are some that have caught my attention and I hope you enjoy reading them as much as I did.
Learn how intelligent automation in the cloud can enable you to transform your business, make your processes more flexible, reduce your security risk and lower your IT security OpEx 40-60%. Forrester's research shows that leveraging the cloud is difficult because of the cost and complexity of security compliance. Regulated industries like financial services (banking, investments, insurance), retail, and healthcare have to maintain compliance with industry standards (FFIEC, PCI-DSS, HIPAA). Forre...
About a year ago we tuned into “the need for speed” and how a concept like "serverless computing” was increasingly catering to this. We are now a year further and the term “serverless” is taking on unexpected proportions. With some even seeing it as the successor to cloud in general or at least as a successor to the clouds’ poorer cousin in terms of revenue, hype and adoption: PaaS.
The question we need to ask is whether this constitutes an example of Hype Hopping: to effortlessly pivot to the ...
Central to the idea of DevOps is collaboration between all of the teams involved in IT applications and infrastructure. Developers, Operations, Quality Assurance, Security, and more, all have stakes in the delivery of a product or service. So, what does collaboration mean when it comes to monitoring in the world of DevOps? In the past, different teams involved in creating or maintaining an application would first finish their portion completely before passing it on to the next team. For example,...
We have been seeing a sudden rise in the deployment of Artificial Intelligence (AI), Machine Learning (ML), and Deep Learning (DL). It looks like the long “AI winter” is finally over. It is interesting to note that AI was mentioned by Alan Turing in a paper he wrote back in 1950 to suggest that there is possibility to build machines with true intelligence. Then in 1956, John McCarthy organized a conference at Dartmounth and coined the phrase Artificial Intelligence. Much of the next three decade...
Multiple agencies across the U.S. government are paying closer attention to the software they are buying. More specifically, they want to know what open source and third party components were used to build the software applications. The report notes:
U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) wants to know what open source components are being used in medical devices.
When building large, cloud-based applications that operate at a high scale, it’s important to maintain a high availability and resilience to failures. In order to do that, you must be tolerant of failures, even in light of failures in other areas of your application. “Fly two mistakes high” is an old adage in the radio control airplane hobby. It means, fly high enough so that if you make a mistake, you can continue flying with room to still make mistakes. In his session at 18th Cloud Expo, Lee A...
