Cassandra 101 for System Administrators with Nathan Milford - Powered by NoSQL

While today was supposed to be a new educational video from the Cassandra NYC 2011 video series , I thought that learning from the operational lessons of operating Cassandra at Outbrain to serve over 30 billion impressions monthly will be quite educational.

NoSQL: Hadoop Interoperability in Micosoft SQL Server and Parallel Data Warehouse

Hadoop Interoperability in Micosoft SQL Server and Parallel Data Warehouse

In the data deluge faced by businesses, there is also an increasing need to store and analyze vast amounts of unstructured data including data from sensors, devices, bots and crawlers. By many accounts, almost 80% of what businesses store is unstructured data — and this volume is predicted to grow exponentially over the next decade.  We have entered the age of Big Data. Our customers have been asking us to help store, manage, and analyze both structured and unstructured data — in particular, data stored in Hadoop environments.  As a first step, we will soon release a Community Technology Preview (CTP) of two new Hadoop connectors — one for SQL Server and one for PDW.  The connectors provide interoperability between SQL Server/PDW and Hadoop environments, enabling customers to transfer data between Hadoop and SQL Server/PDW.  With these connectors, customers can more easily integrate Hadoop with their Microsoft Enterprise Data Warehouses and Business Intelligence solutions to gain deeper business insights from both structured and unstructured data.
