Do You Hadoop?

Posted by John Willis Dec 30, 2007 8:27:53 PM

Cloud computing in 2008 will be white hot. Hadoop is the dirty

little secret behind a good portion of cloud computing. Google, IBM,

Yahoo, and Amazon are doing the Hadoop. In 2008, a lot more companies

will be following their lead. Last year, Google sponsored an initiative

to introduce Google 101 at the University of Washington (see Business Week article). IBM has also jumped into the game by teaming with Google to address Internet-scale computing initiatives at a small number of universities. IBM has also announced a competitive solution to Amazon’s web services (AWS) called “Blue Cloud” that will also be based on Hadoop. All indications are that clear skies are ahead for Hadoop in 2008.

 

So my question to you is ... Will you Hadoop in 2008?

Is this what Yahoo! is using for the M45 supercomputing cluster?

I am not sure. I know that all the cloud players are spinning a proprietary mix on tools like Hadoop. All of the players have suggested they are or have used Hadoop in some fashion. The interesting thing is how will these beasts be managed from an ESM standpoint.
