Re: Add your project or company to the powered by page?

2008-02-27 Thread C G
Here is my contribution to the Hadoop Powered-by page:
   
  Visible Measures Corporation (www.visiblemeasures.com) uses Hadoop as a 
component in our Scalable Data Pipeline, which ultimately powers VisibleSuite 
and other products.  We use Hadoop to aggregate, store, and analyze data 
related to in-stream viewing behavior of Internet video audiences.   Our 
current grid contains more than 128 CPU cores and in excess of 100 terabytes of 
storage, and we plan to grow that substantially during 2008.
   
  Thanks,
  C G

 yeah, i've heard those facebook groups can be a great way to get the word

 anyways, just got approval yesterday for a 320 node cluster.  each node has
 8 cores and 4 TB of raw storage so this guy is gonna be pretty powerful.
 can we claim largest cluster outside of yahoo?

I guess it depends upon how you define outside.

   *Technically*, M45 is outside of a Yahoo! building, given that it is in
one of those shipping-container-data-center-thingies ...

More on the subject of outreach, not specific uses at companies, but...
A couple things might help get the word out:

   - Add a community group in LinkedIn (shows up on profile searches)
 http://www.linkedin.com/static?key=groups_faq

   - Add a link on the wiki to the Facebook group about Hadoop
http://www.facebook.com/pages/Hadoop/9887781514

There's also a small but growing network of local user groups for
Amazon AWS, and much interest there for presentations and discussions
about Hadoop:
   
http://www.amazon.com/Upcoming-Events-AWS-home-page/b/ref=sc_fe_c_0_371080011_1/103-5668663-1566203?ie=UTF8node=16284451no=371080011me=A36L942TSJ2AJA


I'd be happy to help with any of those.
Paco
