WHEN:

  Wednesday, Nov. 2nd, 2011

MAIN PRESENTATION

 TOPIC:
   MapR - the next-generation Hadoop distribution that integrates with Linux

 PRESENTED BY:
   Tomer Shiran,
   Director of Product Management, MapR Technologies, Inc.

 TOPIC SUMMARY:
   The MapR Distribution (http://www.mapr.com/) for Apache's Hadoop
   (https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/Apache_Hadoop)
   Java-based software framework (for creating data-intensive
   distributed applications) makes Hadoop dramatically easier, more
   dependable, and faster.  In addition, unlike other distributions, it
   provides capabilities that allow users to leverage the Linux
   ecosystem.  For example, the MapR distribution includes a read/write
   storage layer with NFS access, allowing users to mount the cluster
   and use traditional Linux utilities, ranging from cp and ls to rsync
   and grep.  In this talk, we'll provide an overview of the MapR
   Distribution for Apache Hadoop and its unique capabilities, as well
   as a number of interesting use cases from MapR users.

 ABOUT THE PRESENTER:
   Tomer Shiran is currently MapR Technologies, Inc.'s Director of
   Product Management.  He's previously worked for IBM Research,
   Microsoft Corporation, HP Labs, and ePassportPhoto.com, and is a
   graduate of the Technion and CMU.
