Open Source Cloud Computing: RightScale Joins Forces With Eucalyptus
,----[ Quote ]
| Eucalyptus, which stands for "Elastic Utility Computing Architecture for
| Linking Your Programs to Useful Systems," is an open source software
| infrastructure for implementing cloud computing on clusters. The current
| interface to Eucalyptus is compatible with Amazon's EC2 interface, but the
| infrastructure is designed to support multiple client-side interfaces.
| Eucalyptus can be downloaded for free and installed on any set of servers to
| create a private, EC2-compatible cloud computing system on those servers.

Hadoop: Funny Name, Powerful Software
,----[ Quote ]
| Doug Cutting was a work-at-home dad plugging away at open source search code
| when he had a light-bulb moment that led him to create Hadoop, an open source
| adaptation of Google's MapReduce. Now, Yahoo is using Hadoop for all kinds of
| high-power computing functions.

Yahoo's Hadoop software transforming the way data is analyzed
,----[ Quote ]
| Cutting, a 44-year-old programmer who had helped build search engines at
| Apple and Excite, had started the search project in 2000 because he wanted
| his code to live on. He knew that closed-source projects, where software is
| treated as a corporate secret, had a way of dying. With open source, the code
| is published and other programmers can contribute suggestions and help fix
| bugs.

OpenSolaris Project: Hadoop Live CD
,----[ Quote ]
| Organizations routinely collect a huge amount of data, including web crawls,
| email messages, and scientific data. Processing these datasets with
| traditional relational database models or streaming algorithms is no longer
| scalable. A new data processing model, MapReduce, addresses this challenge by
| leveraging large clusters of hundreds or thousands of heterogeneous servers.

Hypertable Lead Discusses Hadoop and Distributed Databases
,----[ Quote ]
| At the time that we started on the project, an open source Bigtable
| implementation did not exist, so we decided to build it ourselves. The reason
| that we chose open source is because we felt that an open source
| implementation of Bigtable would be inevitable. By leading the development
| effort, we would have a leg up on the competition in terms of knowledge,
| expertise, and credibility.

Hip-hip-Hadoop!

| Just one more reason why the Microsoft-Yahoo merger, if it happens, will be

| Go[t] that? 10,000 core processors running GNU/Linux at the heart of Yahoo.
| Microsoft is damned if they do (rip and replace) and damned if they don't. Go
| on, make our day, Steve....
