 The Cube at Hadoop Summit 2014 is brought to you by Anchor Sponsor, Hortonworks. We do Hadoop. And headline sponsor, WAN Disco. We make Hadoop invincible. We're back here live at Hadoop Summit. They're packing up. We're not going home. Tool, every story's done. We've got to be careful, John. They're going to put us in a box here and ship us out in a minute. They're breaking down here. This is our third day of wall-to-wall coverage at Hadoop World. I'm John Furrier with Jeff Kelly. Jeff, let's quickly wrap this up. We're going to boot us out. We don't want to leave as to where the action is. We're going to take real quick. I just want to say before we get to the wrap-up, really the MapR, Actian, WAN Disco, sponsoring us to get here. Really appreciate it. Of course, Hortonworks for allowing us to space here. Shout out to all you guys. Without your help, we would not be allowed in. Of course, Triseta as well. I forgot about those guys. Without their sponsorships, we would not be here. Jeff, big story. What's the big top story of the show? The top story of the show, I think, is that we are on the cusp with this tipping point. Clearly, we're hearing a lot more conversations about business outcomes. We're hearing a lot more conversations from the business side of it and less about the guts of the tech, although there's plenty of that type of content at the show as well. I think the other big story is watching the traditional data warehouse vendors try to tell their story about how they're still relevant in this Hadoop-focused world, and frankly, I find it kind of fun watching them twist themselves and not trying to fit. So those are a couple of big stories and really just watching some mainstream, more traditional companies using Hadoop, telling their stories here, Sprint, Coles, and others. Just a really good show, good content. Top story for me, Jeff, is the business side of the equation is exploding. It's really empowering the developers and the community, the technical community, to really accelerate their efforts. You have the big whales here, IBM, Cisco, AT&T, Oracle, they're all here, and the other big story on top of that is the fact that the FUD is lifting. The fog of the FUD and all the BS between thrown around, you can obviously see it. MapR is not going out of business, okay? They have 500 customers, and you ask any of these companies, how many employees do you have and how many customers you have? That will tell you the health of their company. So MapR is not going out of business. Cloudera, Cloudera has successfully had an amazing exit for some of the founders, early employees, and investors, and now are in a whole nother playing field with their business, so Cloudera has got cruising out there, they're at their pace, and Hortonworks is kind of still on the ground doing the open source game and still adding value and staying on mission, so business is good. Continuity had a great announcement with AT&T is the startup in their B round. Chris Wetzel with Concurrent, doing big deals with cascading technology with big players. So you've got the startups and the B round guys successful. You've got the growing companies like Hortonworks and Cloudera, dominating MapR, continuing to do well, business is good, and the whales are here. So to me, I think it's a very healthy ecosystem. Absolutely, it's going to be really interesting to watch it go forward. The, with the big vendors now involved, and you know, the Hadoop has gotten their attention. That's for sure. So the question now is, what's the influence of those big whales out there? How will they influence the development of the platform? And I think, several of our guests have pointed out that really what's critical for the future of Hadoop is to maintain the open source community as a vital and active community of developers and participants, and not let some of the vendor, some of their plans unduly influence the direction of Hadoop. That said, you know, having all these vendors here and having a lot of the money flowing in is a good thing as well, because it's going to enable a lot of development. So. The other subtext to this event is the Cloudera story, right? I mean, I didn't recognize one person in the Cloudera. I saw a lot of ex-Clouderans. Well, it's not, the dog was here. So let's, Well, he's on stage with you, but you know, at the booth, you know, on the ground, Cloudera is kind of quiet. It's not their show. They have their show, which is a dupe world that they run with O'Reilly media. So kind of quiet on the Cloudera front. Well, you know, I think, here's my, I'll just give my take quickly on some of those dynamics. I think what's going on, you've got an interesting situation in the Hadoop market because you've got, as we've, you know, we've signed this market, it's a huge opportunity. I mean, this is a 50 billion plus million dollar, billion dollar opportunity, excuse me, it's day three, as you can tell. So obviously there's a lot of stake that's extremely competitive. So you've got that and that's not necessarily unique to the Hadoop environment. But when you add the open source component, where you've got a lot of the engineers at these different, very competitive companies actually working together to some degree in the community. And it's a fairly small community, relatively speaking. So it's, you know, everyone kind of knows everybody. So there's a lot of personal interaction happening. When you combine those two elements, extremely competitive and small and personalized, you know, sometimes tempers can flare and it gets a little, it gets a little hot sometimes. Yeah, look, the chest pumping and the chest bashing is just kids in the playground. But if you look at the Cloudera Hortonworks thing and the MapR thing, I mean, I think they have their territory. It's like all BS in my mind because Cloudera is successful, okay? The Intel relationship with Cloudera is fundamental to their business model. They had their kind of liquidity event, they had a great liquidity event and growth capital. Cloudera is now a big company, right? So like they have the Intel relationship. So very successful. I mean, what's wrong with that? They're happy. Right, well, that's the thing. There's room for more than one winner in this market. I mean, it's a huge opportunity. That said, there will be somebody who comes up on top and makes the most money. And they all want to be that company. See, we talked to all of Cloudera's customers and not all of them, but most of their customers and some of their competition. And the speculation is that Cloudera is going to be integrated into the Intel software on a chip. That's really putting the efficiencies and we talk about on our last few segments with some of the technical geeks is that there's a lot of work to get done on scale and performance. So my guess is if I'm an Intel engineer or manager, I'm thinking to myself, hey, I could really help Cloudera move the ball down the field and help customers by bringing that functionality inside the Intel technology. And they talked about roadmap integration on the announcement. So I would expect to see flowers be blooming off that relationship in part of the next six to 12 months, if not sooner. Yeah, Intel CIO joining the board at Cloudera. I mean, I think, you know, as they just closed that funding round, that huge funding round that was announced a couple months ago, just closed this week. And I think they'd be kind of crazy not to do that. I mean, there's a lot of great stuff that Intel has done around Hadoop. Their commercial product didn't kind of take off in the market, but a lot of the hard work. I've know some of the engineers that are working on the security, working on the performance improvements. You know, they're doing some really good stuff and that's going to definitely help Cloudera and they'd be crazy not to do, to integrate that. Yeah, they built a great company. They built a, they built what Almir Awadal told me his objective was was to build a durable company. How they got there is not the issue. They're there, they did it, they're working, they're up and running. Hortonworks are on the hand, different path. But Yarn and the data platform that they have has gotten great feedback. Yeah, well I mean, Hortonworks has never deviated from their plan. They know what they want to be. It's not what they want to be when they grow up. They know what they want to be. They want to be about Hadoop and enabling the rest of this ecosystem. And they're sticking to that and they're being successful. I mean, if you talk to some of their customers, they've got a lot of happy customers. It's enabling other vendors to add value on top of the platform. So they're two different approaches. There's room for both. But again, there will be somebody who comes in first. So that's why there's a lot of companies. MapR is doing very well. And then MapR, a third approach, they said from the very beginning, they weren't concerned about, oh, are you open source? Are you open core? They didn't care what you called it. They were just going out to solve business problems. And their customers are clearly happy with them. So there's a lot of room in this market. A lot of things happening. Now we've got these big vendors out here. So that'll be interesting. As I said- Well, what do you mean by acting? Acting is a big surprise to me. Obviously, we love having their CTO on. He is pretty prolific on theCUBE. He makes claims. He backs it up with some rhetoric and has use cases to back it up. So it's like the perfect storm for a CUBE case. Well, acting, yeah. I mean, acting kind of, I don't want to say they came out of nowhere, but there's been a lot of activity at acting over the last year, year and a half with the acquisition of PAR Excel, the acquisition of pervasive, which has enabled them by integrating that with VectorWise and their other database products and application development tools to build this really end-to-end platform. It's impressive what they've done. The performance levels that they're able to achieve are significant. The challenge for them is going to be cutting through a lot of the marketing noise that's happening from some of their competitors and some of the really big vendors out here, the IBMs and Oracles of the world, but they've got the product. It's now time they've got to go out and execute. And having known some of those guys there, they've got some really smart executives. I think they have a good chance of doing just that. When Disco. Tell me about When Disco. When Disco. Again, another company that's really focused on a really hard problem that delivers a lot of value. If you can solve that problem. What they do essentially is allow you to run Hadoop with some peace of mind that it's not going to go down. It's not going to fail. If there is any kind of failure, you'll have automatic failover. You don't have to worry about it. They've got it covered with their non-stop Hadoop and non-stop H-Base. The non-stop H-Base in particular, I think is really interesting because now that enables their customers to potentially build operational applications that are customer-facing. Applications that can't go down. Your application goes down that can, even just for a few minutes, that can mean a lot of money. So they continue to execute on that. They're working with all the different Hadoop distribution providers. They're kind of distribution agnostic. But they're doing some good stuff. They're solving a really important problem. We talk about what Hadoop needs to do to go mainstream. And one of those things is durability. It's got to be able to stay up. You got to be confident it's going to stay up. And that's what they're focused on. And that's what they're executing on. So we're getting some chats here. I want to thank Bert, John Casoretto Kitt for all the other fans in the crowd. She's a very successful crowd. We like to have it work. Nice threads. Nice threading guys, way to go. So the question is, is that favorite interview? Of course, Bert likes Abhi Mada. I love, of course, Abhi Mada's not even interviewed. He's looking columnist for us now, he's so good. I like, of course, I loved him. The true car conversation was probably one of my favorites because it was fresh. It was new to us. We first time cube person, a guest. But he had facts and he had cutting edge data science in action. They had reduction metrics that showed value. He had user experience value proposition all enabled from the Hadoop data platform and open source. Really, really compelling. And had a mobile component as well. So I thought that was the most fresh, interesting new interview. Of course, Actiants continues to surprise me. Talking to those guys, talking to the CTO is that the amount of knowledge and tooling that they have is pretty impressive. It's like Santa Claus. They come with gifts every year into the show. They have their announcement and then the vector wise, impressive stuff. So bringing software innovation at the level that they're doing is pretty impressive for a company that's not that well-known in the, quote, press and whatnot. So good job for Actiants. Yeah, and one of my favorites was talking to Jay Rosseter from Yahoo who runs their platforms and a lot of their analytic workloads and talking about what the things they're doing to help this community. Everything that Hortonworks does is tested at scale at Yahoo. They obviously are operating at a scale that most companies don't, but that gives them some really interesting perspectives on how to keep things running at scale. Kit was saying here on CrowdChat, he really enjoys the WAN disco demo. That was something we did. And Mark and the team are holding back that we can do demos. We would have been doing CrowdChat demos all week if we had the chance. And other demos, but great demo. I thought that was pulled off effectively and they replayed it during lunch and I was walking to get coffee and I saw everyone looking at the screen, the TVs behind us on that demo, very cool. So the WAN disco was good. What are the highlights for you, Jeff? Well, for me, just actually, not on the cube, but although we did, we did simulcast it, I guess is the right word. I was a real honor to be able to go on stage yesterday and interview two of the luminaries in this industry, Doug Cutting. The founder, the father of Hadoop and Arun Berthi, really the founder of the father of Hadoop too. So two of the smartest guys at this conference and really two guys that are, I mean, without those two guys, we wouldn't be at this show. There wouldn't be a Hadoop summit, there might not be a Hadoop period. So that to me was a real highlight and a real honor. I would agree with you, that was a founding father kind of conversation. And what also is fun for me in a personal level is that being so early at the present at creation of this whole industry, seeing these guys when they were regular Joe's and when there was no one really watching the Hadoop space, it was just a bunch of cool people making things happen because of a vision and a commitment to open source and great innovation around the technology. Omar Awadala, Arun Berthi, Doug Cutting. I mean, these are the guys that really made things happen. And now massive innovation. So hats off to all those guys, Jeff. And this is our fifth year covering big data. So the industry is only a few years old. Yeah, well, we've collected a lot of data ourselves on big data, so it's been fun to watch. But Jeff, you know, you get the survey coming out. We had a teaser that was one of my highlights is leaking out some of those stats and the tidbits and reinforcing some of the questions and validating them with the guests we had on there. Get those insights. So I'm looking forward to the survey. Look for that from Wikibon. And of course, SiliconANGLE.com, SiliconANGLE.tv. All the videos are going to be on YouTube, YouTube.com slash SiliconANGLE. And of course, go check out the crowd chat transcript which we'll close down tomorrow morning. It'll leave you open for the rest of the night. Put photos in there, put your favorite videos. CrowdChat.net slash Hadoop Summit. We'll be making an announcement on Monday for general availability of that product. So look for that. Jeff, anything else? I don't know, I think we got it all in, John. It's been a great three days. I'm exhausted, but had a lot of fun too, so. Okay, they're packing us up and we're going to get going. This is the wrap from Hadoop Summit. We'll see you next time.
