that is relevant to our third topic -- stay tuned!

why can't both happen? Yes, Hadoop is just one component in the larger modern data architecture, but its a critical component.

the success (or not) of Hadoop vendors will be based much more on developing profitable/scalable biz model for open source software, not a referendum on the importance of Hadoop as a technology

@jeffreyfkelly You called it over two years ago Jeff- the value will be in the ecosystem not pure play vendors. I see this playing out. #bigdata isn't just about Hadoop

@jeffreyfkelly I think you are both right- #bigdata co's can build large businesses because the TAM is so huge - but the real value (biggest hits) will come from outside the vendor base

@jeffreyfkelly good input

@katlen > @Furrier jumping ahead again?

“It’s hard to sell free stuff,” said John Schroeder, chief executive of rival MapR. in today's Wall Street Journal report

Hadoop and Spark have value, but distributed computing generally may be overused--seems possible to scale up at a linear cost to dozens of nodes through reverse virtualization and rack optimization: https://www.youtube....

TidalScale claims they enable their small clusters to look and operate as a single machine, incl. single machine software.

@AlanMorrison sounds like a mainframe which now is the cloud

getting teams in place for Hadoop is wrong approach just to have "big data" capabilities; just pick a project and go with it says host @CenturyLinkENT

ok - can't resist since they are talking IO. http://searchaws.tec...

"I don't have a single engineer in my organization that understands the topology of the Amazon network, Google is much simpler. That said, AWS offers more flexibility, such as in defining policy rules by individual subnets, a more granular app"

@wendywhite it's been a massive arms race to lower overall latency and looking at data to be more precise; how much does it cost to keep in house or subscribe as service

> And how many enterprises' want to stay in the Data Center Arms Race?

@JeffFrick Answer: None. http://avoa.com/2014...

datacenter 1990's had to own it 2015 it is a utility so buy on demand. Tradeoff is QOS and OPSEC

@John_Bara You make a key point: We used to have to do everything in IT. No longer the case.

@tcrawford @John_Bara CIOs are in the revenue business not managing costs of old IT

Agree...sort of. There is a balance to strike for some time to come.

definitely an interesting insight

Data is often discussed as "streams" so how does the gravity angle relate to that for real time and #IoT #bigdata #datagravity

@mthiele10 understands the angle of cloud + bigdata - like the saying goes - "Big Data gives the cloud something to do"

streaming analytics capabilities are critically important in IoT scenarios

Love the comment from Dave on Data as a Service category is emerging huge

data is the fuel that runs financial services says Roji +1

@Furrier > Craig Barrett f/ @intel used to say
#TTM didn't stand for Time to Market, but Time to Money.
#TechAthlete

> Also, unique value in the organizations' proprietary data... that other's don't have.

@JeffFrick even more value when combining outside data sources with internal propriety data - competitors can't replicate that.

> add the "s" even more powerful.... the Data Centers are the computer.

@JeffFrick data centers = the ultimate super computer

Fantastic (old - published in 2000) book discussing how even at the speed of light, distance matters.

yes their is a huge rebirth of "systems programming" which was huge in the 80s - it's back and it's cloud

in cloudy Palo Alto literally

Mark is awesome Switch rocks

@furrier Is it true Switch has armed security in their datacenters?

Dave Vellante is in the "boat"

finally joined from salt lake city today :)

In FS - everyone is accessing identical base data so that creates great opportunities to add value to common data sets that are 'grounded'

"Sometimes the best trade is the one you don't make" (and we're not talking red sox here)

Agreed - best users are figuring out how to combine own data with industry and other sources. Unlocking value of information rather than just storing it.

Growth hacker is a "hipster" trend

growthhacker = inexperienced marketer

i should change my title then ;)

walked right into that one!

Just break stuff

@katlen out of synch is part of #crowchat fun!

I wish I had the handles of the guests to tweet them

@CrowdCaptain we hve @daveshac and @mthiele10

I love the crowdchat with video and tweeting

@CrowdCaptain Heard recently: If we're not failing, we're not trying hard enough.
