Breakfast Briefing - Overcoming your MapReduce Barriers
With the proliferation of the Big Data, new programming methodologies such as Hadoop and MapReduce have emerged as effective tools for collecting, processing and analyzing large volumes of data, including unstructured data. The current Hadoop MapReduce implementation is still maturing, however, especially for enterprise-class production deployments.
Our seminar on Tuesday morning was a great success!

Exhibitor Forum - To Burst or not to Burst?
The need for scale and compute power is without question, but there has been industry debate about whether cloud environments can handle the needs of HPC applications and under what circumstances. While private cloud computing environments may be suitable for many types of HPC workloads, various workload nuances may require a different approach. Bursting to public clouds may be necessary to complete jobs in a timely manner when internal resources are maxed out.
