 News and analysis from Big Data SV 2014 is brought to you by headline sponsors Actian, Accelerating Big Data 2.0 and WAN Disco, we make a dupe invincible. Okay, we're back here live in Silicon Valley for day three of theCUBE's Big Data SV where we are breaking down all the analysis around big data innovation in Silicon Valley, also covering the Stratoconference going on right across the street, we're live in the Hilton Hotel in Santa Clara. Again, on the ground, roll the action is, day two was fantastic, day one we kicked off at half day. So we had a good day yesterday, Jeff Frick, my co-host, we had our Big Data SV party, had VC show up, we had a great time, CUBE alumni and their friends, very intimate gathering around 200 folks, wanna thank everyone for watching and also coming to our event. I'm John Furrier, the founder of Silicon Angle and joining my co-host today, Jeff Frick filling in for Dave Vellante. Jeff, welcome back to co-hosting. Thank you, John, yeah, but it's been a great show, it's funny how it's evolved since we did Big Data NYC last October in Manhattan and we're already starting the planning process for Big Data NYC, it's a great show, it's fun to see all of our CUBE alumni, all the new, come to the party last night and some new friends, but since we didn't broadcast live from the party, John, I think what people liked to know, what was kind of the water cooler, I guess it wasn't water cooler, it was hanging out closer to the adult beverages chat going on at the party last night and in the after party. Well, I was floating around, I was doing a lot of greeting, meet and greet all the friends and CUBE alumni. As we said earlier on, when we started the show, when we counted the CUBE alumni we've interviewed here at Dave and Iowa, 3,000 people, you can imagine people are excited. So it was great to see people that have been with us from the beginning, Jack Norris from MAPR, we had great VCs, Jerry Chen from Greylock, Insook Ray from Rembrandt Ventures, Jerry Chen's was been on theCUBE when he was at VM where now he's a big time at the Enterprise VC, probably one of the leading young guns in the VC community around Enterprise. Insook Ray is just a veteran, he's been an entrepreneur and now VC, very tech crowd. So I would say that we attracted the group, they was mostly very technical, kind of a core audience of friends and these are the guys making it happen, these are the tech athletes and essentially the water cooler conversation was really like, hey, you guys are doing great, thanks so much for doing the CUBE, we love theCUBE, what's going on in the industry, so a lot of good banter around some of the trends that we normally talk about, but what's interesting is people are doing some business, I still have some biz dev deals going on and people shaking hands, people were smiling, at the end of the day, Jeff, people were smiling and that to me just shows more of the kind of community we have, people love the tech content, Dave and I are proud to do it, we work hard, we love it and at the end of the day, it's an open source concept theCUBE and as the CEO of SAP said, it's a great concept, people love it, we're now in our fifth season, so it's rewarding personally on my end, but more importantly for the folks who are part of our community, they really like to meet other folks in the CUBE network, if you will, so I thought it was fantastic, it was kind of chill, it was really laid back, we didn't have the Stilt Walkers, we didn't have a live band, but maybe next time. Yeah, maybe next time. Yeah, I was happy to catch up with Cheryl Chamberlain to shout out to you, Cheryl, talking really about something that I'm passionate about and everyone on the team is, which is our women in tech feature, she's been very supportive of that and promoting it, and we actually have a couple women coming on today, we had none for the last day and a half, so still an underrepresented group here, but we go out, we find the best ones we can, so I'm excited about that today. We also have a bunch of smaller startups on the docket for today, so we're excited to bring you some, hopefully fresh faces, new companies that maybe you have or haven't heard about, because as we know, that's where a lot of the great innovation comes from, as those things bubble up and get integrated into the broader spectrum. Yeah, just to highlight a few, this is kind of our get dirty with the entrepreneurs and hot startups, and I'll just name a few, we have obviously Alpine Data Labs, which is X-Green Plum guys, we have Bruno, who's always a great character, he was on our debate at the end of the show, he's the CMO, we have VP from Treasure Data, which is really doing well, it's Charles River, Ventures Deal, Bill Tye, who's a great guide server, love following him on Facebook, Abhi Metta from Trasada doing great business, they're actually doing some really good business, we have to have Squirrel, XNSA guys now on their own, doing real good work, we have Actian coming back on, DataStacks, Aerospike, again in memory database, and they're kicking butt, and Trifacta, Joe Hellerstein, X Berkeley professor, he got some recent funding, Revolution Analytics, and Emil from NEO, which is Graph Technology, which I'm looking forward to, because in 2007, 2008, when I was kind of trying to think of what I was gonna do next after my last venture podcast, I met Emil and Palo Alto, and we were like the only guys like, hey, this graph database stuff could be really big, man, Facebook, and as it turns out, these guys are doing great, so graph databases. So we're gonna run the gamut from tech to high level, and just get talking to the stars, because that's the innovation. At the same time, we're running a couple of crowd chats, we have Palo Alto networks on crowdchat.net going on live right now, they're announcing a new God box for security in the enterprise and firewalling, and then at 11 Pacific time, we're gonna be doing a crowd chat with the EMC president, Brian Gallagher. So, we're pumping out the media, we're doing our share for getting the data, extracting the signal from the noise, and in between all that, Jeff, we're gonna lay down the news, we're gonna look at what the announcements look like, and we're also gonna talk about some of the big things happening today in tech. Yeah, and just as always, a big shout out to our sponsors, our headline sponsors, ActyN and Wendisco for continuing to support theCUBE. If you stop by, we invite you to come on by the Yosemite Suite here at the Hilton. You'll see we've got a big crew, we've got lights, camera action, a whole lot of guys, so it does take some investment to keep bringing theCUBE out to these events so we can extract the signal from the noise and bring you the information that you wanna see. So, again, we couldn't do it without the generous underwriting of sponsors, like ActyN and Wendisco as our headline. We've got a full slate of other sponsors, including Squirrel, HP Vertica, tell me how, John, you've got the list there, MapR, CloudEra, CloudEra, the list goes on and on. Again, we wouldn't be able to do this without the support of the great sponsors. And again, one thing we heard last night at the party, people wanna do it bigger and bigger every year. We're excited, we're always adding more hosts, so hopefully we can interview everybody, but we'll do our best. Again, we'll try to get to 5,000 or bust maybe this year, Jeff. And a couple thousand more people to our list of interviews. So, we're excited, stay with us all day today. Again, we're wall-to-wall coverage, we're gonna go all day today till five o'clock. And this is Big Data SV, this is our big events in Silicon Valley covering the big data world and all the innovation and news along with the Stratoconference. I'm John Furrier, we'll be right back with our next guest after this short break.
