>>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.
