Description

The world of data that companies operate within has been dramatically transformed since the early days of data warehousing 20 to 30 years ago. Data is the lifeblood of today's organizations, and data growth is overwhelming traditional practices for managing and deriving value from it. At the same time, the cost of compute has continued to plummet, following Moore's Law, and it is possible to build systems at 100 times better price/performance than just a few short years ago.

The idea of the single EDW (Enterprise Data Warehouse) as the home for alldata simply hasn't come to fruition. The EDW plays an important role, as a heavily controlled central repository that receives key distilled data from elsewhere in the company. But increasingly it is locked down by compliance and process requirements, and it is simply not a place for data analysts and scientists to do innovative work on large, new, important datasets.

Recognizing this important need, Greenplum has developed Greenplum Chorus,the world's first enterprise data cloud platform --a platform that leverages commodity computing and private cloud computing ideas to break down the internalwalls between data silos and give analysts the freedom to derive insight from them.

This talk focuses on the opportunity for organizations to build an Enterprise Data Cloud as a net-new infrastructure to complement their EDW and related databases--one that is secure, collaborative, and data centric. Additionally the technology behind Greenplum Chorus called Greenplum Data Hypervisor will be discussed. Greenplum Data Hypervisor is a distributed cloud-scale execution framework that manages complex cross-database state, data movement, and orchestration in a fault-tolerant and self-healing manner.

About the speaker

Prior to Greenplum, Luke directed data center integration at High Performance Technologies Inc (HPTi), scaling the business and setting industry firsts in parallel computing subsequently adopted by IBM and Compaq. Luke's background includes 20+ years of innovations in computing technology ranging from supercomputing (#5 in top500 list) to medical imaging systems. Previously he managed operations and R&D at groups within Northrop Grumman Corporation. He holds an M.S. in Aeronautics and Astronautics from Stanford University and a B.E. in Mathematics from Vanderbilt University.
