If your business can gain insight from data-logging sensors, you can distill that knowledge into timely, intelligent decisions and trigger the right action at the right time. Or, put another way, today you no longer use data to see what happened; instead you use it to see what’s happening in real time, which allows you to pinpoint your marketing, improve service, reduce costs and save time. The possibilities are endless.

More and more organizations are expanding their usage of Hadoop software beyond just basic storage and reporting. But while they’re developing increasingly complex algorithms and becoming more dependent on getting value out of Hadoop systems, they are also pushing the limits of their architectures,” said Bill Blake, senior vice president and CTO of Cray. “We are combining the supercomputing technologies of the Cray CS300 series with the performance and security of the Intel Distribution to provide customers with a turnkey, reliable Hadoop solution that is purpose-built for high-value Hadoop environments. Organizations can now focus on scaling their use of platform-independent Hadoop software, while gaining the benefits of important underlying architectural advantages from Cray and Intel.”

As you may recall, Cray acquired the CS300 cluster technology from Appro last year. This gives the company a more affordable cluster offering for markets that don’t require Cray’s low latency interconnect technology. Read the Full Story.

Enterprise users are looking for cost-effective and scalable tools to efficiently manage and quickly access large volumes of data to turn valuable information into actionable insight,” said Boyd Davis, vice president and general manager of Intel’s Datacenter Software Division. “The addition of the Intel Enterprise Edition for Lustre to our big data software portfolio will help make it easier and more affordable for businesses to move, store and process data quickly and efficiently.”

When paired with the Intel Distribution for Apache Hadoop, the Intel Enterprise Edition for Lustre software allows Hadoop to be run on top of Lustre, significantly improving speed in which data can be accessed and analyzed. This allows users to access data files directly from the global file system at faster rates and speeds up analytics time, providing more productive use of storage assets as well as simpler storage management.

The Intel Enterprise Edition for Lustre will be available in early in the third quarter of this year. Read the Full Story.

In this TEDx video, Dr. Kirk Borne from George Mason University describes the basics behind data mining and how it influences us every day.

Dr. Kirk Borne is a Multidisciplinary Data Scientist and an Astrophysicist. He is Professor of Astrophysics and Computational Science in the George Mason University School of Physics, Astronomy, and Computational Sciences (SPACS). He received his B.S. degree in physics from LSU and his Ph.D. in astronomy from Caltech. After 20 years working in NASA, he changed course and became a data scientist in the then new field of ‘Data Mining’. If you are a Twitter user, you can follow him there as he actively tweets about Big Data, Data Science, and Astronomy under the handle @KirkDBorne.

Today OpenSFS announced that Intel will roll out a new product on Wednesday called the Intel Enterprise Edition for Lustre.

We’re pleased to see Intel pushing Lustre in new directions and growing the Lustre ecosystem,” said Galen Shipman, OpenSFS Chairman. “This is a great example of the continued advancement and maturation of Lustre technology in the marketplace.”

Lustre has long been used in many of the world’s fastest supercomputing systems and is reportedly gaining much interest in areas such as banking, where speed and scalability are keys to success. If Intel can reduce the complexity of Lustre deployments and administration with the Chroma storage management technology it acquired with Whamcloud last year, the company may be able to sell Lustre into a whole new market.

Intel’s Moving Lustre Forward event starts at 11 am on June 12 at the Merchants Exchange Building in San Francisco. The event will also will be live-streamed (registration required).
