Big Data Networked Storage Solution for Hadoop Redpaper
I explained that the Redpaper was just published the prior week and the copy we were holding was the only hardcopy in Vegas. We went ahead and gave it to him and he invited the product manager to visit and present to his clients. Definitely a positive experience having been involved in producing a Redpaper with such a positive and timely reaction. The redpaper describes several Hadoop test case scenarios. Figure 1 from the Redpaper shows that MapReduce is the Hadoop framework for parallel processing and the Hadoop Distributed File System (HDFS) is the distributed file system that provides petabyte-size storage and data management can be integrated with IBM Systems and Storage. As enterprises begin to move Hadoop deployments out of the lab and into production, they typically expect a certain degree of scalability and efficiency. IBM Open Solution for Hadoop uniquely complements the IBM feature-rich BigInsights software suite to create an end-to-end solution that focuses on functionality, efficiency, and quality that are so critical.
