Fortunately, there is a solution in the form of Hadoop , an open source database that allows data and calculations to be spread across multiple computers. Hadoop is based on ideas published by Google in 2004. In 2006, this was picked up by a few people at Yahoo!, including Doug Cutting , who coined the name Hadoop. It is the name of his child's yellow stuffed elephant.
Speakers Friso van Vollenhoven from Xebia and later Reijer Klopman from Atos showed how you can use Hadoop. For example, Friso showed how Hadoop can be used to generate suggestions for the search bar of Bol.com and gave tips on how to get started: with a small team, second-hand computers (see photo) and one clear application, you can have a first application up and running within two weeks. Rob Dielemans from Xebia spoke in a later lecture about the end of classic business intelligence projects: thanks to Hadoop, systems are not only faster, but also easier to adapt. New reports can be created in days instead of months. According to him, Hadoop is now ready for use by all companies, because much better tooling has been developed that allows every Java programmer to start with Hadoop.
The weakness of Hadoop is that it is not built for transaction processing. However, solutions are sweden telegram data being developed for this type of application.
According to the speakers, the great advantage of the cloud is its flexibility. With a cloud service, you can order a server and receive it within half an hour. Many organizations start using the cloud outside of the IT organization because teams cannot wait for the traditional IT organization. It is therefore necessary for IT organizations to focus less on costs and more on service management: good service provision that also offers the flexibility that users want. “IT should no longer say no to the business ,” says Scott Fines.
