is hadoop suitable for us?

[Pierre Antoine Du Bois De Naurois]

Hello,

We have about 50 VMs and we want to distribute processing across them.
However these VMs share a huge data storage system and thus their "virtual"
HDD are all located in the same computer. Would Hadoop be useful for such
configuration? Could we use hadoop without HDFS? so that we can retrieve
and store everything in the same storage?

Thanks,
PA
