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.

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?

Huge Android Fan - XOOM Tablet
I think the XOOM tablet is fantastic. I know it is dated and with new offerings like the Nexus 7 available, it can appear a little... antiquated. However, I really do recommend a tablet to any one who conducts business or spends time in the field instead of an office. A sturdy bag and a tablet can increase productivity and I constantly get compliments from clients when we sit down and I demonstrate web technology on my tablet.
You can't go wrong with the sheer geek-chic that comes with a suit, tie, and an android tablet.
I am fan of android. I have 2
I am fan of android. I have 2 mobiles with android and one tablet. I like it a lot the ui, eventhough i am not a developer i like that you can do whatever you like with your device or tablet.
I have the opportunity to use roms for each of my devices and customize it as i like it.
I am using all the time for games, applications, movies etc
but when it comes for subtitling i use my laptop cause i need desperatly my keyboard.
