How to Build an Optimal Hadoop Cluster to Store and Maintain Unlimited Amounts of Data Using Microservers
Realizing the promise of Apache® Hadoop® requires the effective deployment of compute, memory, storage and networking to achieve optimal results. With its flexibility and multitude of options, it is easy to over or under provision the server infrastructure, resulting in poor performance and high TCO. Join us for an in depth, technical discussion with industry experts from leading Hadoop and server companies who will provide insights into the key considerations for designing and deploying an optimal Hadoop cluster.

White Paper
Private PaaS for the Agile Enterprise
If you already use virtualized infrastructure, you are well on your way to leveraging the power of the cloud. Virtualization offers the promise of limitless resources, but how do you manage that scalability when your DevOps team doesn’t scale? In today’s hypercompetitive markets, fast results can make a difference between leading the pack vs. obsolescence. Organizations need more benefits from cloud computing than just raw resources. They need agility, flexibility, convenience, ROI, and control.
Stackato private Platform-as-a-Service technology from ActiveState extends your private cloud infrastructure by creating a private PaaS to provide on-demand availability, flexibility, control, and ultimately, faster time-to-market for your enterprise.

How to Build an Optimal Hadoop Cluster to Store and Maintain Unlimited Amounts of Data Using Microservers
Realizing the promise of Apache® Hadoop® requires the effective deployment of compute, memory, storage and networking to achieve optimal results. With its flexibility and multitude of options, it is easy to over or under provision the server infrastructure, resulting in poor performance and high TCO. Join us for an in depth, technical discussion with industry experts from leading Hadoop and server companies who will provide insights into the key considerations for designing and deploying an optimal Hadoop cluster.
Some of key questions to be discussed are:
- What is the “typical” Hadoop cluster and what should be installed on the different machine types?
- Why should you consider the typical workload patterns when making your hardware decisions?
- Are all microservers created equal for Hadoop deployments?
- How do I plan for expansion if I require more compute, memory, storage or networking?

This poll is a joke, you
This poll is a joke, you never release the full results. Until you do that how am I supposed to know anything I didn't already know before taking the poll? Most of the number ones are easly guessable but it is nice to see the movement of the “rest”
Thanks

Please Release the Full Results this Year
I ask every year but have never received an answer. This poll is a joke, you never release the full results. Until you do that how am I supposed to know anything I didn't already know before taking the poll? Most of the number ones are easly guessable but it is nice to see the movement of the “rest” of the crowd. PLEASE RELEASE THE FULL RESULTS THIS YEAR.
Kubuntu/Linux_Mint/Ubuntu are the same as Debian?
Kubuntu/Xubuntu are the same as Ubuntu? Following this logic, we could say that Ubuntu, Linux Mint, etc. are similar to Debian and put them all in the same group.
Kubuntu/Xubuntu are not the same as Ubuntu, this can not be implied.
The default programs are different, the look is different, the menus are different, the computer places are different, the experiences are different, the authors are different... and if someone is told to read a documentation page for Ubuntu, it is not valid for the others.
Also, there's more people working with Calligra than KOffice, that was a previous version.
Where is Mageia?
Anyone watching Distrowatch knows that Mageia is currently beating Ubuntu by a good margin. Only Mint manages to stay above Mageia? Why even list Mandriva? Some of the option are so 2009 and clearly Gnome and *buntu (and derivatives) based! What about Libre Office? The rest of us moved on!
Revision needed.
I agree with the previous posts. Unity, Cinnamon and MATE should be on this list. Also, gnome-shell should be listed, not GNOME3.x (As GNOME3.x applies to both gnome-shell /and/ cinnamon). On that note, one could even label xfce as a branch of GNOME2.x... Are you sure you haven't crossed wires between "Window managers" and "Desktop environments"?
What about graphics drivers? In most cases, linux users will choose one GPU manufacturer over another because of driver support. Some users choose to use the proprietary drivers like nvidia's while others use FOSS alternatives like nouveau.
Clementine should also definitely be on this list as many Amarok 1.x fans have switched to it. Finally - and this is just nit-picking but - Amarok is incorrectly capitalized in the poll as "AmaroK"
Missing options
Guys, please, please, put software from 2012 on the list!!!
Ubuntu Netbook Remix?!? Seriously?
Where are Unity and Cinnamon under desktop environments?
Where is the Clementine media player?
You should have updated the options before starting the poll...
Replace koffice with calligra?
KOffice is dead by now with all the developers working on Calligra and making releases several times a year. Maybe replace KOffice with Calligra in the poll, KWord with Words and so on?
KDE is community, not desktop
KDE does not represent desktop anymore for a couple of years now. KDE represent community creating free and open source software. The desktop you are talking about is Plasma. So the entry for desktop environment should probably read KDE Plasma. Also KOffice is not active much anymore. The most active office suite from KDE is now Calligra, which should be added to the poll.
