>>Live from Las Vegas, Nevada. It's a queue at HP. Discover 2014 brought to you by HP. >>Welcome back, everyone live here in Las Vegas for HP. Discover 2014. This is the cube we're out. We go where the action is. We're on the ground here at HP. Discover getting all the signals, sharing them with you, extracting the signal from the noise. I'm John furrier, founder of SiliconANGLE. I joined Steve Woolwich VP of product marketing at map art technologies. Great to see you welcome to the cube. Thank you. I know you got a plane to catch up, but I really wanted to squeeze you in because you guys are a leader in the big data space. You guys are in the top three, the three big whales map are Hortonworks, Cloudera. Um, you know, part of the original big data industry, which, you know, when we did the cube, when we first started the industry, you had like 30, 34 employees, total combined with three, one company Cloudera, and then Matt are announced and then Hortonworks, you guys have been part of that. Holy Trinity of, of early pioneers. Give us the update you guys are doing very, very well. Uh, we talked to you guys at the dupe summit last week. So Jack Norris for the party, give us the update what's going on with the momentum and the traction. And then I want to talk about some of the things with the product. >>Yeah. So we've seen a tremendous uptick in sales at map. Are we tripled revenue? We announced that publicly about a month ago. So we went up 300% in sales, over Q3, I'm sorry, Q1 of 2013. And I think it's really, you know, the maturity of the market. As people move more towards production, they appreciate the enterprise features. We built into the map, our distribution for Hadoop. So, um, you know, the stats I would share is that 80% of our customers triple the size of their cluster within the first 12 months and 50% of them doubled the size of the cluster because there's the, you know, they had that first production success use case and they find other applications and start rolling out more and more. So it's been great for us. >>You know, I always joke with Jack Norris, who's the VP of marketing over there. And John Frodo is the CEO about Matt bars, humbleness. You don't have the fanfare of all the height, depressed love cloud era. Now see they had done some pretty amazing things. They've had a liquidity event, so essentially kind of an IPO, if you will, that huge ex uh, financing from Intel and they're doing great big Salesforce. Hortonworks has got their open source play. You guys got, you got your heads down as well. So talk about that. How many employees you guys have and what's going on with the product? How many, how many new, what, how many products do you guys actually, >>We have, well, we have one product. So we have the map, our distribution for Hadoop, and it's got all the open source packages directly within it, but where we really innovate is in the course. So that's where we, we spent our time early on was really innovating that data platform to give everything within the Hadoop ecosystem, more reliability, better availability, performance, security scale, >>It's open source contributions to the court. And you guys put stuff on top of that, uh, >>And how it works. Yeah. And even some projects we lead the projects like with Apache Mahal and Apache drill, which is coming into beta shortly other projects, we commit and contribute back. But, um, so we take in the distribution, we're distributing all those projects, but where we really innovate is at that data platform level. So >>HP is a big data leader officer. They bought, uh, autonomy. They have HP Vertica. You guys are here. Hey, what are you doing here? Obviously we covered the cube, uh, the announcement with, uh, with, with HP Vertica, you here for that reason, is there other biz dev other activity going on other integration opportunities? >>Yeah, a few things. So, um, obviously the HP Vertica news was big. We went into general availability that solution the first week of may. So, um, what we have is the HP Vertica database integrated directly on top of our data platform. So it's this hybrid solution where you have full SQL database directly within your Hadoop distribution. Um, so it had a couple sessions on that. We had, uh, a nice panel discussion with our friends from Cloudera and Hortonworks. So really good discussion with HP about just the ecosystem and how it's evolving. The other things we're doing with HP now is, you know, we've got reference architectures on their hardware lines. So, um, you know, people can deploy Mapbox on the hardware of HP, but then also we're talking with the, um, the autonomy group about enterprise search and looking at a similar type of integration where you could have the search integrated directly into your Hadoop distro. And we've got some joint accounts we're piloting that she goes, now, >>You guys are integrating with HP pretty significantly that deals is working well. Absolutely. What's the coolest thing that you've seen with an HP that you can share. How so I asked you in the big data landscape, everyone's Bucher, you know, hunkering down, working on their feature, but outside in the real world, big data, it's not on the top of mind of the CIO, 24 7. It's probably an item that they're dressing. What have you seen and what have you been most impressed with at HP here? >>Yeah. Say, you know, this is my first HP event like this. I think the strategy they have is really good. I think in certain areas like the cloud in particular with the helium, I think they made a lot of early investments there and place some bets. And I think that's going to pay off well for them. And that marries pretty nicely with our strategy as well in terms of, you know, we have on-premise deployments, but we're also an OEM if you will, within Amazon web services. So we have a lot of agility in the cloud if you will. And I think as those products and the partnerships with HP, evolvable, we'll be playing a lot more with them in the cloud as well. >>I see that asks you a question. I want you to share with the folks out there in your own words, what is it about map bar that they may or may not understand or might not know about? Um, a little humble brag out there and share some, share some, uh, insight of, into, into map bar for folks that don't know you guys as a company and for the folks that may have a misperception of what you guys do shit share with them, with what, what map map is all about. >>Yeah. I mean, for me, I was in this space with Aster data and kind of the whole Hadoop and MapReduce area since 2008 and pretty familiar with everybody in the space. I really looked at Matt bars, the best technology hands down, you look at the Forrester wave and they rank us as having the best technology today, as well as product roadmap. I think the misperception is people think, oh, it's proprietary and close. It's actually the opposite of that. We have an unbiased open-source approach where we'll ship in support in our distribution, in the entire Apache spark stack. We're not selective over which projects within Apache spark. We support. Um, I feel like SQL on Hadoop. We support Impala as well as hive and other SQL on to do technologies, including the ability to integrate HP Vertica directly in the system. And it's because of the openness of our platform. I'd say it's actually more open because of the standards we've integrated into the data platform to support a lot of third-party tools directly within it. So there is no locked in the storage formats are all the same. The code that runs on top of the distribution from the projects is exactly the same. So you can build a project in hive or some other system, and you can port it between any of the distributions. So there isn't a, lock-in >>The end of the day, what the customers want is they want ease of integration. They want reliability. That's right. And so what are you guys working on next? What's the big, uh, product marketing roadmap that you can share with us? >>Yeah, I think for us, because of the innovations we did in the data platform allows us to support not only more applications, but more types of operational systems. So integrating things like fraud detection and recommendation engines directly with the analytical systems to really speed up that, um, accuracy and, and, uh, in targeting and detecting risk and things like that. So I think now over time, you know, Hadoop has sort of been this batch analytic type of platform, but the ability to converge operations and analytics in one system is really going to be enabled by technology like Matt BARR. >>How many employees do you guys have now? Uh, >>I'm not sure what our CFO would. Let me say that before. You can say we're over 200 at this point >>As well. And over five, the customers which got the data, you guys do summit graduations, we covered your relationship with HP during our big data SV. That was exciting. Good to see John Schroeder, big, very impressive team. I'm impressed with map. I will always have been. You guys have Stephanie kept your knitting saved. Are you going to do, and again, leading the big data space, um, and again, not proprietary is a very key word and that's really cool. So thanks for coming on. Like you really appreciate Steve. We'll be right back. This is the cube live in Las Vegas, extracting the city from the noise with map bar here at the HP discover 2014. We'll be right back here for the short break.

>>The queue at Hadoop summit, 2014 is brought to you by anchor sponsor Hortonworks. We do, I do. And headline sponsor when disco we make Hadoop invincible >>Okay. Welcome back. Everyone live here in Silicon valley in San Jose. This is a dupe summit. This is Silicon angle and Wiki bonds. The cube is our flagship program. We go out to the events and extract the signal to noise. I'm John barrier, the founder SiliconANGLE joins my cohost, Jeff Kelly, top big data analyst in the, in the community. Our next guest, Jack Norris, COO of map R security enterprise. That's the buzz of the show and it was the buzz of OpenStack summit. Another open source show. And here this year, you're just seeing move after, move at the moon, talking about a couple of critical issues. Enterprise grade Hadoop, Hortonworks announced a big acquisition when all in, as they said, and now cloud era follows suit with their news. Today, I, you sitting back saying, they're catching up to you guys. I mean, how do you look at that? I mean, cause you guys have that's the security stuff nailed down. So what Dan, >>You feel about that now? I think I'm, if you look at the kind of Hadoop market, it's definitely moving from a test experimental phase into a production phase. We've got tremendous customers across verticals that are doing some really interesting production use cases. And we recognized very early on that to really meet the needs of customers required some architectural innovation. So combining the open source ecosystem packages with some innovations underneath to really deliver high availability, data protection, disaster recovery features, security is part of that. But if you can't predict the PR protect the data, if you can't have multitenancy and separate workflows across the cluster, then it doesn't matter how secure it is. You know, you need those. >>I got to ask you a direct question since we're here at Hadoop summit, because we get this question all the time. Silicon lucky bond is so successful, but I just don't understand your business model without plates were free content and they have some underwriters. So you guys have been very successful yet. People aren't looking at map are as good at the quiet leader, like you doing your business, you're making money. Jeff. He had some numbers with us that in the Hindu community, about 20% are paying subscriptions. That's unlike your business model. So explain to the folks out there, the business model and specifically the traction because you have >>Customers. Yeah. Oh no, we've got, we've got over 500 paying customers. We've got at least $1 million customer in seven different verticals. So we've got breadth and depth and our business model is simple. We're an enterprise software company. That's looking at how to provide the best of open source as well as innovations underneath >>The most open distribution of Hadoop. But you add that value separately to that, right? So you're, it's not so much that you're proprietary at all. Right. Okay. >>You clarify that. Right. So if you look at, at this exciting ecosystem, Hadoop is fairly early in its life cycle. If it's a commoditization phase like Linux or, or relational database with my SQL open source, kind of equates the whole technology here at the beginning of this life cycle, early stages of the life cycle. There's some architectural innovations that are really required. If you look at Hadoop, it's an append only file system relying on Linux. And that really limits the types of operations. That types of use cases that you can do. What map ours done is provide some deep architectural innovations, provide complete read-write file systems to integrate data protection with snapshots and mirroring, et cetera. So there's a whole host of capabilities that make it easy to integrate enterprise secure and, and scale much better. Do you think, >>I feel like you were maybe a little early to the market in the sense that we heard Merv Adrian and his keynote this morning. Talk about, you know, it's about 10 years when you start to get these questions about security and governance and we're about nine years into Hadoop. Do you feel like maybe you guys were a little early and now you're at a tipping point, whereas these more, as more and more deployments get ready to go to production, this is going to be an area that's going to become increasingly important. >>I think, I think our timing has been spectacular because we, we kind of came out at a time when there was some customers that were really serious about Hadoop. We were able to work closely with them and prove our technology. And now as the market is just ramping, we're here with all of those features that they need. And what's a, what's an issue. Is that an incremental improvement to provide those kind of key features is not really possible if the underlying architecture isn't there and it's hard to provide, you know, online real-time capabilities in a underlying platform that's append only. So the, the HDFS layer written in Java, relying on the Linux file system is kind of the, the weak underbelly, if you will, of, of the ecosystem. There's a lot of, a lot of important developments happening yarn on top of it, a lot of really kind of exciting things. So we're actively participating in including Apache drill and on top of a complete read-write file system and integrated Hindu database. It just makes it all come to life. >>Yeah. I mean, those things on top are critical, but you know, it's, it's the underlying infrastructure that, you know, we asked, we keep on community about that. And what's the, what are the things that are really holding you back from Paducah and production and the, and the biggest challenge is they cited worth high availability, backup, and recovery and maintaining performance at scale. Those are the top three and that's kind of where Matt BARR has been focused, you know, since day one. >>So if you look at a major retailer, 2000 nodes and map bar 50 unique applications running on a single cluster on 10,000 jobs a day running on top of that, if you look at the Rubicon project, they recently went public a hundred million add actions, a hundred billion ad auctions a day. And on top of that platform, beats music that just got acquired for $3 billion. Basically it's the underlying map, our engine that allowed them to scale and personalize that music service. So there's a, there's a lot of proof points in terms of how quickly we scale the enterprise grade features that we provide and kind of the blending of deep predictive analytics in a batch environment with online capabilities. >>So I got to ask you about your go to market. I'll see Cloudera and Hortonworks have different business models. Just talk about that, but Cloudera got the massive funding. So you get this question all the time. What do you, how do you counter that army and the arms race? I think >>I just wrote an article in Forbes and he says cash is not a strategy. And I think that was, that was an excellent, excellent article. And he goes in and, you know, in this fast growing market, you know, an amount of money isn't necessarily translate to architectural innovations or speeding the development of that. This is a fairly fragmented ecosystem in terms of the stack that runs on top of it. There's no single application or single vendor that kind of drives value. So an acquisition strategy is >>So your field Salesforce has direct or indirect, both mixable. How do you handle the, because Cloudera has got feet on the street and every squirrel will find it, not if they're parked there, parking sales reps and SCS and all the enterprise accounts, you know, they're going to get the, squirrel's going to find a nut once in awhile. Yeah. And they're going to actually try to engage the clients. So, you know, I guess it is a strategy if they're deploying sales and marketing, right? So >>The beauty about that, and in fact, we're all in this together in terms of sharing an API and driving an ecosystem, it's not a fragmented market. You can start with one distribution and move to another, without recompiling or without doing any sort of changes. So it's a fairly open community. If this were a vendor lock-in or, you know, then spending money on brand, et cetera, would, would be important. Our focus is on the, so the sales execution of direct sales, yes, we have direct sales. We also have partners and it depends on the geographies as to what that percentage is. >>And John Schroeder on with the HP at fifth big data NYC has updated the HP relationship. >>Oh, excellent. In fact, we just launched our application gallery app gallery, make it very easy for administrators and developers and analysts to get access and understand what's available in the ecosystem. That's available directly on our website. And one of the featured applications there today is an integration with the map, our sandbox and HP Vertica. So you can get early access, try it and get the best of kind of enterprise grade SQL first, >>First Hadoop app store, basically. Yeah. If you want to call it that way. Right. So like >>Sure. Available, we launched with close to 30, 30 with, you know, a whole wave kind of following that. >>So talk a little bit about, you know, speaking of verdict and kind of the sequel on Hadoop. So, you know, there's a lot of talk about that. Some confusion about the different methods for applying SQL on predicts or map art takes an open approach. I know you'll support things like Impala from, from a competitor Cloudera, talk about that approach from a map arts perspective. >>So I guess our, our, our perspective is kind of unbiased open source. We don't try to pick and choose and dictate what's the right open source based on either our participation or some community involvement. And the reality is with multiple applications being run on the platform, there are different use cases that make difference, you know, make different sense. So whether it's a hive solution or, you know, drill drills available, or HP Vertica people have the choice. And it's part of, of a broad range of capabilities that you want to be able to run on the platform for your workflows, whether it's SQL access or a MapReduce or a spark framework shark, et cetera. >>So, yeah, I mean there is because there's so many different there's spark there's, you know, you can run HP Vertica, you've got Impala, you've got hive. And the stinger initiative is, is that whole kind of SQL on Hadoop ecosystem, still working itself out. Are we going to have this many options in a year or two years from now? Or are they complimentary and potentially, you know, each has its has its role. >>I think the major differences is kind of how it deals with the new data formats. Can it deal with self-describing data? Sources can leverage, Jason file does require a centralized metadata, and those are some of the perspectives and advantages say the Apache drill has to expand the data sets that are possible enabled data exploration without dependency on a, on an it administrator to define that, that metadata. >>So another, maybe not always as exciting, but taking workloads from existing systems, moving them to Hadoop is one of the ways that a lot of people get started with, to do whether associated transformation workloads or there's something in that vein. So I know you've announced a partnership with Syncsort and that's one of the things that they focus on is really making it as easy as possible to meet those. We'll talk a little bit about that partnership, why that makes sense for you and, and >>When your customer, I think it's a great proof point because we announced that partnership around mainframe offload, we have flipped comScore and experience in that, in that press release. And if you look at a workload on a mainframe going to duke, that that seems like that's a, that's really an oxymoron, but by having the capabilities that map R has and making that a system of record with that full high availability and that data protection, we're actually an option to offload from mainframe offload, from sand processing and provide a really cost effective, scalable alternative. And we've got customers that had, had tried to offload from the mainframe multiple times in the past, on successfully and have done it successfully with Mapbox. >>So talk a little bit more about kind of the broader partnership strategy. I mean, we're, we're here at Hadoop summit. Of course, Hortonworks talks a lot about their partnerships and kind of their reseller arrangements. Fedor. I seem to take a little bit more of a direct approach what's map R's approach to kind of partnering and, and as that relates to kind of resell arrangements and things like, >>I think the app gallery is probably a great proof point there. The strategy is, is an ecosystem approach. It's having a collection of tools and applications and management facilities as well as applications on top. So it's a very open strategy. We focus on making sure that we have open API APIs at that application layer, that it's very easy to get data in and out. And part of that architecture by presenting standard file system format, by allowing non Java applications to run directly on our platform to support standard database connections, ODBC, and JDBC, to provide database functionality. In addition to kind of this deep predictive analytics really it's about supporting the broadest set of applications on top of a single platform. What we're seeing in this kind of this, this modern architecture is data gravity matters. And the more processing you can do on a single platform, the better off you are, the more agile, the more competitive, right? >>So in terms of, so you're partnering with people like SAS, for example, to kind of bring some of the, some of the analytic capabilities into the platform. Can you kind of tell us a little bit about any >>Companies like SAS and revolution analytics and Skytree, and I mean, just a whole host of, of companies on the analytics side, as well as on the tools and visualization, et cetera. Yeah. >>Well, I mean, I, I bring up SAS because I think they, they get the fact that the, the whole data gravity situation is they've got it. They've got to go to where the data is and not have the data come to them. So, you know, I give them credit for kind of acknowledging that, that kind of big data truth ism, that it's >>All going to the data, not bringing the data >>To the computer. Jack talk about the success you had with the customers had some pretty impressive numbers talking about 500 customers, Merv agent. The garden was on with us earlier, essentially reiterating not mentioning that bar. He was just saying what you guys are doing is right where the puck is going. And some think the puck is not even there at the same rink, some other vendors. So I gotta give you props on that. So what I want you to talk about the success you have in specifically around where you're winning and where you're successful, you guys have struggled with, >>I need to improve on, yeah, there's a, there's a whole class of applications that I think Hadoop is enabling, which is about operations in analytics. It's taking this, this higher arrival rate machine generated data and doing analytics as it happens and then impacting the business. So whether it's fraud detection or recommendation engines, or, you know, supply chain applications using sensor data, it's happening very, very quickly. So a system that can tolerate and accept streaming data sources, it has real-time operations. That is 24 by seven and highly available is, is what really moves the needle. And that's the examples I used with, you know, add a Rubicon project and, you know, cable TV, >>The very outcome. What's the primary outcomes your clients want with your product? Is it stability? And the platform has enabled development. Is there a specific, is there an outcome that's consistent across all your wins? >>Well, the big picture, some of them are focused on revenues. Like how do we optimize revenue either? It's a new data source or it's a new application or it's existing application. We're exploding the dataset. Some of it's reducing costs. So they want to do things like a mainframe offload or data warehouse offload. And then there's some that are focused on risk mitigation. And if there's anything that they have in common it's, as they moved from kind of test and looked at production, it's the key capabilities that they have in enterprise systems today that they want to make sure they're in Hindu. So it's not, it's not anything new. It's just like, Hey, we've got SLS and I've got data protection policies, and I've got a disaster recovery procedure. And why can't I expect the same level of capabilities in Hindu that I have today in those other systems. >>It's a final question. Where are you guys heading this year? What's your key objectives. Obviously, you're getting these announcements as flurry of announcements, good success state of the company. How many employees were you guys at? Give us a quick update on the numbers. >>So, you know, we just reported this incredible momentum where we've tripled core growth year over year, we've added a tremendous amount of customers. We're over 500 now. So we're basically sticking to our knitting, focusing on the customers, elevating the proof points here. Some of the most significant customers we have in the telco and financial services and healthcare and, and retail area are, you know, view this as a strategic weapon view, this is a huge competitive advantage, and it's helping them impact their business. That's really spring our success. We've, you know, we're, we're growing at an incredible clip here and it's just, it's a great time to have made those calls and those investments early on and kind of reaping the benefits. >>It's. Now I've always said, when we, since the first Hadoop summit, when Hortonworks came out of Yahoo and this whole community kind of burst open, you had to duke world. Now Riley runs at it's a whole different vibe of itself. This was look at the developer vibe. So I got to ask you, and we would have been a big fan. I mean, everyone has enough beachhead to be successful, not about map arbors Hortonworks or cloud air. And this is why I always kind of smile when everyone goes, oh, Cloudera or Hortonworks. I mean, they're two different animals at this point. It would do different things. If you guys were over here, everyone has their quote, swim lanes or beachhead is not a lot of super competition. Do you think, or is it going to be this way for awhile? What's your fork at some? At what point do you see more competition? 10 years out? I mean, Merv was talking a 10 year horizon for innovation. >>I think that the more people learn and understand about Hadoop, the more they'll appreciate these kind of set of capabilities that matter in production and post-production, and it'll migrate earlier. And as we, you know, focus on more developer tools like our sandbox, so people can easily get experienced and understand kind of what map are, is. I think we'll start to see a lot more understanding and momentum. >>Awesome. Jack Norris here, inside the cube CMO, Matt BARR, a very successful enterprise grade, a duke player, a leader in the space. Thanks for coming on. We really appreciate it. Right back after the short break you're live in Silicon valley, I had dupe December, 2014, the right back.

>>Okay. We're back here, live in New York city for big data week. This is siliconangle.tvs, exclusive coverage of Hadoop world strata plus Hadoop world big event, a big data week. And we just wrote a blog post on siliconangle.com calling this the south by Southwest for data geeks and, and, um, it's my prediction that this is going to turn into a, quite the geek Fest. Uh, obviously the crowd here is enormous packed and an amazing event. And, uh, we're excited. This is siliconangle.com. I'm the founder John ferry. I'm joined by cohost update >>Volante of Wiki bond.org, where people go for free research and peers collaborate to solve problems. And we're here with Jack Norris. Who's the vice president of market marketing at map are a company that we've been tracking for quite some time. Jack, welcome back to the cube. Thank you, Dave. I'm going to hand it to you. You know, we met quite a while ago now. It was well over a year ago and we were pushing at you guys and saying, well, you know, open source and nice look, we're solving problems for customers. We got the right model. We think, you know, this is, this is our strategy. We're sticking to it. Watch what happens. And like I said, I have to hand it to you. You guys are really have some great traction in the market and you're doing what you said. And so congratulations on that. I know you've got a lot more work to do, but >>Yeah, and actually the, the topic of openness is when it's, it's pretty interesting. Um, and, uh, you know, if you look at the different options out there, all of them are combining open source with some proprietary. Uh, now in the case of some distributions, it's very small, like an ODBC driver with a proprietary, um, driver. Um, but I think it represents that that any solution combining to make it more open is, is important. So what we've done is make innovations, but what we've made those innovations we've opened up and provided API. It's like NFS for standard access, like rest, like, uh, ODBC drivers, et cetera. >>So, so it's a spectrum. I mean, actually we were at Oracle open world a few weeks ago and you listen to Larry Ellison, talk about the Oracle public cloud mix of actually a very strong case that it's open. You can move data, it's all Java. So it's all about standards. Yeah. And, uh, yeah, it from an opposite, but it was really all about the business value. That's, that's what the bottom line is. So, uh, we had your CEO, John Schroeder on yesterday. Uh, John and I both were very impressed with, um, essentially what he described as your philosophy of we, we not as a product when we have, we have customers when we announce that product and, um, you know, that's impressive, >>Is that what he was also given some good feedback that startup entrepreneurs out there who are obviously a lot of action going on with the startup community. And he's basically said the same thing, get customers. Yeah. And that's it, that's all and use your tech, but don't be so locked into the tech, get the cutters, understand the needs and then deliver that. So you guys have done great. And, uh, I want to talk about the, the show here. Okay. Because, uh, you guys are, um, have a big booth and big presence here at the show. What, what did you guys are learning? I'll say how's the positioning, how's the new news hitting. Give us a quick update. So, >>Uh, a lot of news, uh, first started, uh, on Tuesday where we announced the M seven edition. And, uh, yeah, I brought a demo here for me, uh, for you all. Uh, because the, the big thing about M seven is what we don't have. So, uh, w we're not demoing Regents servers, we're not demoing compactions, uh, we're not demoing a lot of, uh, manual administration, uh, administrative tasks. So what that really means is that we took this stack. And if you look at HBase HBase today has about half of dupe users, uh, adopting HBase. So it's a lot of momentum in the market, uh, and, you know, use for everything from real-time analytics to kind of lightweight LTP processing. But it's an infrastructure that sits on top of a JVM that stores it's data in the Hadoop distributed file system that sits on a JVM that stores its data in a Linux file system that writes to disk. >>And so a lot of the complexity is that stack. And so as an administrator, you have to worry about how data gets permit, uh, uh, you know, kind of basically written across that. And you've got region servers to keep up, uh, when you're doing kind of rights, you have things called compactions, which increased response time. So it's, uh, it's a complex environment and we've spent quite a bit of time in, in collapsing that infrastructure and with the M seven edition, you've got files and tables together in the same layer writing directly to disc. So there's no region servers, uh, there's no compactions to deal with. There's no pre splitting of tables and trying to do manual merges. It just makes it much, much simpler. >>Let's talk about some of your customers in terms of, um, the profile of these guys are, uh, I'm assuming and correct me if I'm wrong, that you're not selling to the tire kickers. You're selling to the guys who actually have some experience with, with a dupe and have run into some of the limitations and you come in and say, Hey, we can solve some of those problems. Is that, is that, is that right? Can you talk about that a little bit >>Characterization? I think part of it is when you're in the evaluation process and when you first hear about Hadoop, it's kind of like the Gartner hype curve, right. And, uh, you know, this stuff, it does everything. And of course you got data protection, cause you've got things replicated across the cluster. And, uh, of course you've got scalability because you can just add nodes and so forth. Well, once you start using it, you realize that yes, I've got data replicated across the cluster, but if I accidentally delete something or if I've got some corruption that's replicated across the cluster too. So things like snapshots are really important. So you can return to, you know, what was it, five minutes before, uh, you know, performance where you can get the most out of your hardware, um, you know, ease of administration where I can cut this up into, into logical volumes and, and have policies at that whole level instead of at an individual file. >>So there's a, there's a bunch of features that really resonate with users after they've had some experience. And those tend to be our, um, you know, our, our kind of key customers. There's a, there's another phase two, which is when you're testing Hadoop, you're looking at, what's possible with this platform. What, what type of analytics can I do when you go into production? Now, all of a sudden you're looking at how does this fit in with my SLS? How does this fit in with my data protection, uh, policies, you know, how do I integrate with my different data sources? And can I leverage existing code? You know, we had one customer, um, you know, a large kind of a systems integrator for the federal government. They have a million lines of code that they were told to rewrite, to run with other distributions that they could use just out of the box with Matt BARR. >>So, um, let's talk about some of those customers. Can you name some names and get >>Sure. So, um, actually I'll, I'll, I'll talk with, uh, we had a keynote today and, uh, we had this beautiful customer video. They've had to cut because of times it's running in our booth and it's screaming on our website. And I think we've got to, uh, actually some of the bumper here, we kind of inserted. So, um, but I want to shout out to those because they ended up in the cutting room floor running it here. Yeah. So one was Rubicon project and, um, they're, they're an interesting company. They're a real-time advertising platform at auction network. They recently passed a Google in terms of number one ad reach as mentioned by comScore, uh, and a lot of press on that. Um, I particularly liked the headline that mentioned those three companies because it was measured by comScore and comScore's customer to map our customer. And Google's a key partner. >>And, uh, yesterday we announced a world record for the Hadoop pterosaur running on, running on Google. So, um, M seven for Rubicon, it allows them to address and replace different point solutions that were running alongside of Hadoop. And, uh, you know, it simplifies their, their potentially simplifies their architecture because now they have more things done with a single platform, increases performance, simplifies administration. Um, another customer is ancestry.com who, uh, you know, maybe you've seen their ads or heard, uh, some of their radio shots. Um, they're they do a tremendous amount of, of data processing to help family services and genealogy and figure out, you know, family backgrounds. One of the things they do is, is DNA testing. Uh, so for an internet service to do that, advanced technology is pretty impressive. And, uh, you know, you send them it's $99, I believe, and they'll send you a DNA kit spit in the tube, you send it back and then they process that and match and give you insights into your family background. So for them simplifying HBase meant additional performance, so they could do matches faster and really simplified administration. Uh, so, you know, and, and Melinda Graham's words, uh, you know, it's simpler because they're just not there. Those, those components >>Jack, I want to ask you about enterprise grade had duped because, um, um, and then, uh, Ted Dunning, because he was, he was mentioned by Tim SDS on his keynote speech. So, so you have some rockstars stars in the company. I was in his management team. We had your CEO when we've interviewed MC Sri vis and Google IO, and we were on a panel together. So as to know your team solid team, uh, so let's talk about, uh, Ted in a minute, but I want to ask you about the enterprise grade Hadoop conversation. What does that mean now? I mean, obviously you guys were very successful at first. Again, we were skeptics at first, but now your traction and your performance has proven this is a market for that kind of platform. What does that mean now in this, uh, at this event today, as this is evolving as Hadoop ecosystem is not just Hadoop anymore. It's other things. Yeah, >>There's, there's, there's three dimensions to enterprise grade. Um, the first is, is ease of use and ease of use from an administrator standpoint, how easy does it integrate into an existing environment? How easy does it, does it fit into my, my it policies? You know, do you run in a lights out data center? Does the Hadoop distribution fit into that? So that's, that's one whole dimension. Um, a key to that is, is, you know, complete NFS support. So it functions like, uh, you know, like standard storage. Uh, a second dimension is undependability reliability. So it's not just, you know, do you have a checkbox ha feature it's do you have automated stateful fail over? Do you have self healing? Can you handle multiple, uh, failures and, and, you know, automated recovery. So, you know, in a lights out data center, can you actually go there once a week? Uh, and then just, you know, replace drives. And a great example of that is one of our customers had a test cluster with, with Matt BARR. It was a POC went on and did other things. They had a power field, they came back a week later and the cluster was up and running and they hadn't done any manual tasks there. And they were, they were just blown away to the recovery process for the other distributions, a long laundry list of, >>So I've got to ask you, I got to ask you this, the third >>One, what's the third one, third one is performance and performance is, is, you know, kind of Ross' speed. It's also, how do you leverage the infrastructure? Can you take advantage of, of the network infrastructure, multiple Knicks? Can you take advantage of heterogeneous hardware? Can you mix and match for different workloads? And it's really about sharing a cluster for different use cases and, and different users. And there's a lot of features there. It's not just raw >>The existing it infrastructure policies that whole, the whole, what happens when something goes wrong. Can you automate that? And then, >>And it's easy to be dependable, fast, and speed the same thing, making HBase, uh, easy, dependable, fast with themselves. >>So the talk of the show right now, he had the keynote this morning is that map. Our marketing has dropped the big data term and going with data Kozum. Is that true? Is that true? So, Joe, Hellerstein just had a tweet, Joe, um, famous, uh, Cal Berkeley professor, computer science professor now is CEO of a startup. Um, what's the industry trifecta they're doing, and he had a good couple of epic tweets this week. So shout out to Joe Hellerstein, but Joel Hellison's tweet that says map our marketing has decided to drop the term big data and go with data Kozum with a shout out to George Gilder. So I'm kind of like middle intellectual kind of humor. So w w w what's what's your response to that? Is it true? What's happening? What is your, the embargo, the VP of marketing? >>Well, if you look at the big data term, I think, you know, there's a lot of big data washing going on where, um, you know, architectures that have been out there for 30 years or, you know, all about big data. Uh, so I think there's a, uh, there's the need for a more descriptive term. Um, the, the purpose of data Kozum was not to try to coin something or try to, you know, change a big data label. It was just to get people to take a step back and think, and to realize that we are in a massive paradigm shift. And, you know, with a shout out to George Gilder, acknowledging, you know, he recognized what the impact of, of making available compute, uh, meant he recognized with Telekom what bandwidth would mean. And if you look at the combination of we've got all this, this, uh, compute efficiency and bandwidth, now data them is, is basically taking those resources and unleashing it and changing the way we do things. >>And, um, I think, I think one of the ways to look at that is the new things that will be possible. And there's been a lot of focus on, you know, SQL interfaces on top of, of Hadoop, which are important. But I think some of the more interesting use cases are taking this machine J generated data that's being produced very, very rapidly and having automated operational analytics that can respond in a very fast time to change how you do business, either, how you're communicating with customers, um, how you're responding to two different, uh, uh, risk factors in the environment for fraud, et cetera, or, uh, just increasing and improving, um, uh, your response time to kind of cost events. We met earlier called >>Actionable insight. Then he said, assigning intent, you be able to respond. It's interesting that you talk about that George Gilder, cause we like to kind of riff and get into the concept abstract concepts, but he also was very big in supply side economics. And so if you look at the business value conversation, one of things we pointed out, uh, yesterday and this morning, so opening, um, review was, you know, the, the top conversations, insight and analytics, you know, as a killer app right now, the app market has not developed. And that's why we like companies like continuity and what you guys are doing under the hood is being worked on right at many levels, performance units of those three things, but analytics is a no brainer insight, but the other one's business value. So when you look at that kind of data, Kozum, I can see where you're going with that. >>Um, and that's kind of what people want, because it's not so much like I'm Republican because he's Republican George Gilder and he bought American spectator. Everyone knows that. So, so obviously he's a Republican, but politics aside, the business side of what big data is implementing is massive. Now that I guess that's a Republican concept. Um, but not really. I mean, businesses is, is, uh, all parties. So relative to data caused them. I mean, no one talks about e-business anymore. We talking to IBM at the IBM conference and they were saying, Hey, that was a great marketing campaign, but no one says, Hey, uh, you and eat business today. So we think that big data is going to have the same effect, which is, Hey, are you, do you have big data? No, it's just assumed. Yeah. So that's what you're basically trying to establish that it's not just about big. >>Yeah. Let me give you one small example, um, from a business value standpoint and, uh, Ted Dunning, you mentioned Ted earlier, chief application architect, um, and one of the coauthors of, of, uh, the book hoot, which deals with machine learning, uh, he dealt with one of our large financial services, uh, companies, and, uh, you know, one of the techniques on Hadoop is, is clustering, uh, you know, K nearest neighbors, uh, you know, different algorithms. And they looked at a particular process and they sped up that process by 30,000 times. So there's a blog post, uh, that's on our website. You can find out additional information on that. And I, >>There's one >>Point on this one point, but I think, you know, to your point about business value and you know, what does data Kozum really mean? That's an incredible speed up, uh, in terms of, of performance and it changes how companies can react in real time. It changes how they can do pattern recognition. And Google did a really interesting paper called the unreasonable effectiveness of data. And in there they say simple algorithms on big data, on massive amounts of data, beat a complex model every time. And so I think what we'll see is a movement away from data sampling and trying to do an 80 20 to looking at all your data and identifying where are the exceptions that we want to increase because there, you know, revenue exceptions or that we want to address because it's a cost or a fraud. >>Well, that's what I, I would give a shout out to, uh, to the guys that digital reasoning Tim asked he's plugged, uh, Ted. It was idolized him in terms of his work. Obviously his work is awesome, but two, he brought up this concept of understanding gap and he showed an interesting chart in his keynote, which was the date explosion, you know, it's up and, you know, straight up, right. It's massive amount of data, 64% unstructured by his calculation. Then he showed out a flat line called attention. So as data's been exploding over time, going up attention mean user attention is flat with some uptick maybe, but so users and humans, they can't expand their mind fast enough. So machine learning technologies have to bridge that gap. That's analytics, that's insight. >>Yeah. There's a big conversation now going on about more data, better models, people trying to squint through some of the comments that Google made and say, all right, does that mean we just throw out >>The models and data trumps algorithms, data >>Trumps algorithms, but the question I have is do you think, and your customer is talking about, okay, well now they have more data. Can I actually develop better algorithms that are simpler? And is it a virtuous cycle? >>Yeah, it's I, I think, I mean, uh, there are there's, there are a lot of debate here, a lot of information, but I think one of the, one of the interesting things is given that compute cycles, given the, you know, kind of that compute efficiency that we have and given the bandwidth, you can take a model and then iterate very quickly on it and kind of arrive at, at insight. And in the past, it was just that amount of data in that amount of time to process. Okay. That could take you 40 days to get to the point where you can do now in hours. Right. >>Right. So, I mean, the great example is fraud detection, right? So we used the sample six months later, Hey, your credit card might've been hacked. And now it's, you know, you got a phone call, you know, or you can't use your credit card or whatever it is. And so, uh, but there's still a lot of use cases where, you know, whether is an example where modeling and better modeling would be very helpful. Uh, excellent. So, um, so Dana custom, are you planning other marketing initiatives around that? Or is this sort of tongue in cheek fun? Throw it out there. A little red meat into the chum in the waters is, >>You know, what really motivated us was, um, you know, the cubes here talking, you know, for the whole day, what could we possibly do to help give them a topic of conversation? >>Okay. Data cosmos. Now of course, we found that on our proprietary HBase tools, Jack Norris, thanks for coming in. We appreciate your support. You guys have been great.
