The Open Source Wave in SCM

Published by Randy DeFauw on December 20, 2013 in Git and Subversion. 0 Comments
A recent Forrester survey has confirmed what those of us working in the ALM space have seen coming for several years: the open source wave has hit SCM. The wave isn’t on the horizon, it’s not something you need to prepare for someday – it has well and truly arrived.

The numbers tell the tale. As you can see in the infographic below, Subversion and Git lead the enterprise SCM market with a share of 28.8%.

Cloudera Moves Deeper Into Public Cloud Computing

By QUENTIN HARDY



Mike Olson, chief strategy officer of Cloudera, which offers a popular version of the open source database called Hadoop.



If there were a prize for not blinking at the facts, it would go to Cloudera.

The company, a maker of data management software, said on Wednesday that it would offer its business-class software on the public computing cloud. Until now, Cloudera had sold its software into private systems, either on its own or through resellers.

The move is another acknowledgment of the growing power of public clouds, which are ways that companies and individuals can rent vast amounts of computing power, data storage and software over the Internet. In addition, it’s an admission by Cloudera that the company needs to take its products to a place where they could conceivably help a competitor.

Cloudera makes for big data analysis based on an open source project called Hadoop. Cloudera contributes to Hadoop but charges for the products it builds for itself. Amazon Web Services has released some of its own big data products this year, making it something of a Cloudera competitor.

“People need to deploy their big data analysis systems where they have their data,” said Mike Olson, Cloudera’s chief strategy officer. “Increasingly, that is the public cloud.” He added: “We could go to others, like Microsoft or Google, but if you want market share, you’re going to Amazon.”

Cloudera charges customers based on the number of servers using its software, a pricing model that should work tolerably well on Amazon Web Services, or A.W.S. Mr. Olson is hoping that the ease with which people can rent more servers on A.W.S. means he’ll make even more, at least at first. “More engines on the same data load is going to win,” he said.

He praised A.W.S. for the way it had “democratized” some of the more expensive parts of big data analysis, but also said that A.W.S. can add features and services that will enter Cloudera’s turf.

“Do we end up overlapping? That may happen,” he said. “But it would be crazy not to be a part of this – those guys are a force of nature. We want to work with the best companies that have the best infrastructure.”

In a statement accompanying a Cloudera news release about the collaboration between the two companies, Terry Wise, a director of partnerships at Amazon Web Services, said the deal offered customers more choice of products. “Customers will have access to a leading Hadoop implementation,” he said.

Amazon declined to provide any further comment on the move. That kind of restraint all but signals a

Good to see Cloudera looking to move fast and efficient like WAND.


The elephant in the cloud: Cloudera adds support for Hadoop on Amazon







Aaron Amat/Shutterstock

Cloudera is providing commercial support for its take on Hadoop -- whose mascot is an elephant -- on more and more public clouds. This time, it's the top one, Amazon Web Services.


December 19, 2013 4:00 AM





In case you get the urge to store, query, and analyze your data on the biggest public cloud out there, Amazon Web Services, Cloudera has you covered.

As of today, Cloudera, which provides software for implementing and working with the Hadoop big-data storage and processing system, offers commercial support for companies running the enterprise tier of its software on Amazon’s cloud.

The company has announced similar arrangements in recent months in collaboration with public clouds from IBM, CenturyLink, and Verizon, in a quest to help customers run its take on Hadoop on any infrastructure of their choosing. But working with Amazon is a whole other level, because Amazon represents such a major center of gravity in the cloud.

Amazon and Cloudera are working together to release new features and capabilities for Cloudera customers aboard Amazon, and the vendors have drawn up a model to ensure that joint customers receive first-class treatment whenever they need support.

“If a customer running Cloudera on Amazon infrastructure runs into a snag, they call up the Cloudera support hotline, and we validate and verify the entitlement of that customer,” Tim Stevens, vice president of business and corporate development at Cloudera, said in an interview with VentureBeat. “We do the diagnostics. If we determine it’s a hardware issue, not a software issue, then we have a protocol that we’ve worked out with Amazon to be able to transfer that issue to the expert at Amazon who will be able to address that issue, and vice-versa.”

Cloudera’s win amounts to a loss for competitors in the Hadoop distribution business, including Hortonworks and Intel. Those companies have been gaining awareness through their own partnerships with public clouds. Hortonworks, for example, has been bringing its Hadoop distribution to Rackspace, Microsoft’s Windows Azure, and Joyent.

Hadoop distribution vendor MapR has already gotten its software running on Amazon’s cloud (and Google’s, too, by the way). But the pay structure is different. Pricing for MapR depends on how much companies use on Amazon’s cloud, while Cloudera charges subscription fees and provides its premium support 24 hours per day, seven days a week, or eight hours per day, five days a week.

And Cloudera is thought to be a bigger vendor than MapR. At least one can get that idea from a recent report from Wikibon big data analyst Jeff Kelly and his colleagues on big data revenue. The report shows Cloudera’s 2012 revenue coming in at $56 million, more than double the size of MapR’s for the same period ($23 million). So Cloudera’s new way to make money off Hadoop deployments on Amazon could trigger a bigger revenue gain.

Not that every single company wants to copy all of its data and paste it into a Hadoop cluster on a public cloud. Such a day might not ever come, Stevens said. But around a decade from now, Stevens said, “every enterprise out there will have some portion of their information-management architecture interacting, touching, or running in the cloud.”

Still, Cloudera has ideas about which companies to reach out to now.

“There are hundreds and hundreds of implementations of Cloudera open-source core on Amazon,” Stevens said. “We have low dozens of customers and prospects that are in the process of running Cloudera or evaluating Cloudera in production on the AWS cloud, and it’s those folks that we’re now super excited to [tell] you can do this, and you can do it confidently knowing that Cloudera and Amazon will provide you with a first-rate experience.”

Cloudera customers with on-premise and cloud installations might be left wondering how they can manage all of them from one single site or application.

“You can expect to see that kind of capability moving into … the Cloudera offering over time, as the market developer and as customer demand matures,” Stevens said.

For now, Cloudera just wants more people using Hadoop on Amazon’s cloud — and shelling out to get some help.

A Look Back at 2013: The Year Big Data Work Began


By Virginia Backaitis | Dec 19, 2013


Featured White Paper: How to Embed a Document as a Self-Running Slideshow in a Website


big data

If 2012 was the year your grandmother instigated big data conversations at the dinner table (yes, the “buzz” around it actually was that big), then 2013 will go down in history as the year the enterprise began to make serious plans around it.

CIOs are no longer talking about big data in terms of “it’s something we’ve got to do,” instead they’re making plans, putting big data projects into their budgets and writing checks.

Building on Hadoop Momentum

The companies that provide software, services and support around Hadoop and ancillary technologies, have worked nose to the grindstone to make Hadoop enterprise ready, and they’ve made great progress. Our post, “How Is Hadoop Like Teenage Sex” and the not-so-graphic accompanying infographic reveals some keen insights on adoption rates.

The biggest accomplishment of the Apache Hadoop Community, as a whole, is the delivery and acceptance of Hadoop 2.0. It takes Hadoop beyond a single-use data platform for batch processing to a multi-use platform that enables batch, interactive, online and stream processing.








Hortonworks was first out of the gate with its HDP 2 Platform that leverages Hadoop 2, and there’s no doubt that the company’s growing list of partners and their respective customers benefited from that in short order.

Just a few days later, at Strata Conference and Hadoop World in New York City, Cloudera announced Cloudera Enterprise 5, which is fundamental to its newly announced “Data Hub” strategy. The market had strong reactions to that.

Microsoft also made a huge Hadoop-related proclamation. At Strata and Hadoop World, Microsoft Corporate Vice President Quentin Clark not only announced that the company now had its own Hadoop distribution, but also his plan to deliver Big Data to 1 billion users.

And MapR kept marching on its mission to make its Hadoop distro faster, safer and more secure for its customers.

New and Improved

2013 will also go down as the year that tried and true enterprise players brought new — or new and improved — Hadoop appliances to market. They include Teradata, Oracle and many others including HP, which claims that its HP Converged System products take the prize when it comes to speed and price. On a slightly unrelated note, did you know that Facebook uses HP Vertica for big data?

And we can’t let 2013 end without mentioning Pivotal, which has planted its stake in computing’s next generation, specifically built for a world of big data, social, mobile and cloud. By all accounts, Pivotal is changing the game, not the rules.

Hadoop in the Cloud

2013 will also go down as the year that the enterprise began to accept that their big data is safe in the cloud and that there are advantages in storing it there, including economic agility. Earlier today Cloudera announced its collaboration with Amazon to bring the Enterprise Data Hub to the Cloud, and IBM acquired Aspera to help it customers move large files to the Cloud.

From the Mouths of Industry Leaders

But enough about what we have to say, check out the reflections of industry thought leaders when we asked them to respond to the question: What were the biggest changes or accomplishments in the Big Data/Hadoop marketplace (and overall) in 2013?

Todd Paoletti, vice president of product marketing, Pivotal


In 2013, we saw a shift in the Hadoop market from the customer side — an evolution in testing out Hadoop for archival purposes, to more of an exploration of Hadoop for operational and analytical purposes. More people want to use Hadoop to do something with the data now.








Another element is an evolution in the functionality that runs on top of Hadoop (e.g., SQL-query distributions) and a need has been established for high performance across Hadoop. Real time capabilities are now required of Hadoop to deliver more real time applications. Lastly, a deeper appreciation for broader data management versus Hadoop distribution. Big data is more than just Hadoop and more people recognized analytical tools / information management are also critical components to data management."

Jim Walker, director product marketing, Hortonworks


2013 was a momentous year for Hadoop. Through the first half of the year, we saw hockey stick increases in interest in the Fortune 500 and beyond. It may be argued that the market has at least doubled in size in 2013 as new entrants, both pure play and embedded, met existing demand and increased overall interest in the technology.

Ultimately, the most important accomplishment for Hadoop in 2013 was the release of Hadoop 2.0 from the Apache Community in October. This release marks the point in time where Hadoop transformed from a largely batch-oriented system into a true multi-use data platform, allowing organizations to store all data and then interact with it in multiple ways simultaneously. YARN extends Hadoop to new workloads such as interactive, real-time and streaming. It is the core technology fueling the adoption of a modern data architecture in the enterprise. It is the new platform for enterprise data applications."

John Schroeder, CEO and Cofounder, MapR Technologies


Accomplishments within Hadoop and the broader ecosystem included a far reaching impact by making the Hadoop Database, HBase, enterprise grade by eliminating some of the downtime and latency issues through high availability and disaster recovery capabilities and eliminating compactions. Other accomplishments include integrating SOLR search with Hadoop distributions to provide an intuitive powerful method to locate and index unstructured data.

Perhaps the greatest accomplishment of big data in 2013 was the ability of Hadoop to displace other IT spending. Hadoop proved to be a disruptive force in IT spending, particularly with enterprise data warehouse, traditional database and enterprise storage."

Quentin Clark, corporate vice president, Microsoft


The biggest change we’ve seen around big data in 2013 is a shift in the conversation. We have gone from debating the technologies to real world deployments. The conversations I am now having with customers are about the value they are starting to get from big data — and how they can accelerate that. It’s energizing because we are starting to see business change, and we know that this is just the tip of the iceberg."

Significantly Expanded Sales Channels


Significantly expanding its sales channels, WANdisco has struck a strategic partnership with Cloudera, the Apache Hadoop-based software, support and services company. The partnership is the second strategic Big Data channel partnership WANdisco has agreed since the launch of its first Big Data product earlier in the year, and we see it as further endorsement of WANdisco’s strategy of becoming the de-facto continuous availability solution for Hadoop. WANdisco also recently announced the launch of Non-Stop Hadoop for Hortonwroks version 1.5, which is a joint product release for the Big Data market and is the first major release developed in partnership with Hortonworks.

Cloudera
Cloudera is a leader in enterprise analytic data management powered by Apache Hadoop, with over 700 hardware, software and services partners, Cloudera offers WANdisco. It has certified WANdisco’s Non-Stop Hadoop technology to run on its Cloudera Distribution for Hadoop version 4 (CDH4), which is the core of Cloudera’s enterprise platform, providing 100% uptime for global multi-data centre deployments.
Hortonworks
Non-Stop Hadoop for Hortonworks version 1.5 includes significant performance and administration enhancements for large multi-data centre Hadoop deployments, and allows enterprises to plan for server downtime and maintain performance across data centres that span multiple geographies.

We keep our forecasts and DCF model unchanged for the time being, but believe the firm’s Q4 bookings update, which is expected to be announced on 15th January, could lead to an upgrade.

Software firm to find its place in the sun

Lizzie Murphy was on maternity leave at the beginning of 2013 and so didn’t make a share tip for the year.


This year she is tipping high flying software firm WANdisco:

WANdisco has been on a rising path to stardom since its £37m flotation on AIM back in the summer of 2012.

The Sheffield and Silicon Valley-based company, which specialises in software allowing its clients to store and share huge amounts of data, is cashing in on the strong demand for tech businesses.

In September last year (2013), WANdisco raised nearly £20m through a share placing to fund potential acquisitions and take on more staff as the firm continues to win new business.

The company also announced two strategic partnerships in the Big Data sector in 2013.

The first was a product partnership with Hortonworks, one of the world’s biggest suppliers of Enterprise Hadoop software.

The second was a partnership with Cloudera, a leader in enterprise analytic data management.

The company said the deal would give it a significant new route to the market for applications handling collections of data too large for a single computer.

It also launched Git MultiSite, a software solution, based on patented technology, which is designed to eliminate downtime and data loss.

WANdisco’s half-year results at the end of June showed a 20 per cent rise in revenue from $2.9m to $3.5m.

It said its earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) loss of $3.3m reflected the investment being made in both the Application Lifecycle Management and Big Data markets.

Booking subscriptions have continued to rise for the firm.

In October it announced that bookings in the third quarter of 2013 rose 120 per cent to £2.8m, driven by further strong subscription growth and accompanied by encouraging early momentum in the Big Data market.

Following its string of new business wins, strategic partnerships and fundraising, 2014 could be an even bigger year for the company, particularly if it follows through with its acquisition plans.

There is a risk that the market will overheat and WANdisco’s bubble will burst, but for the next year at least the firm’s current success shows no sign of slowing down.

The group’s shares closed 2013 at £12.30, which is a massive 198 per cent increase over the course of the year.

Pitney Bowes Selects WANdisco for 100% Global Uptime and Source Code Availability










WANdisco Protects Pitney Bowes Against Downtime and Data Loss with SVN MultiSite


SAN RAMON, Ca. – January 9, 2014 - WANdisco (LSE: WAND), a leading provider of high-availability software for global enterprises to meet the challenges of Big Data and distributed software development, announced that Pitney Bowes has selected its SVN MultiSite solution to standardize best practices across its globally distributed development team, eliminate downtime, improve network speed, and ensure the security and backup of its source code data.

WANdisco SVN MultiSite enabled Pitney Bowes, a leading provider of customer communication technologies, to improve productivity by providing an updated copy of repositories at each location and reducing network latency while protecting against failure and availability issues with its patented active-active replication technology. With SVN MultiSite, all 1,300+ developers around the globe, at sites in the United States, United Kingdom, India, and Australia, have LAN-speed access to up-to-date source code, reducing wait times for developers and allowing for continuous contribution to the code base. SVN MultiSite also provides conflict resolution and solves the company’s backup issues.

“WANdisco SVN MultiSite’s unique active-active replication resulted not only in a dramatic improvement in productivity and reduction in project completion times, but also enabled us to streamline our source code management processes by providing our distributed teams the ability to work together instead of waiting for code at check-in,” said Jacqueline Brown, Director of Global Engineering Services for Pitney Bowes. “With a distributed team, if they’re all writing simultaneously and seeing changes, the code is higher quality because we’re able to adapt to merge conflicts more quickly.”

SVN MultiSite also provided Pitney Bowes with continuous hot-backup and automatic failover for all locations. In instances of both planned and unplanned downtime, recovery is automatic and instant so when a server comes back online, it immediately synchronizes with the others in the cluster, undetectable to users. “In the past, if a server went down, developers couldn’t work. With SVN MultiSite, when a server goes down, users simply connect to other servers,” said Brown. “With a cluster of nodes around the world, we’re not worried about losing data if a site goes down because it’s accessible on the rest of the nodes.”

A recent Forrester Total Economic Impact (TEI) Report completed in July 2013 revealed that SVN MultiSite delivered a return on investment (ROI) of 357% with a payback period of less than two months. The subject of the study was a Fortune 500 company with annual revenues of over $5 billion that had deployed SVN MultiSite two years earlier. Forrester’s TEI methodology measures costs and cost reduction, and weighs the enabling value of a technology in increasing the effectiveness of overall business processes. Read the full report here.

Q4 2013 Bookings Update



Q4 Subscription bookings increased by 71 percent year-on-year



Sheffield, UK - WANdisco plc (LSE: WAND), a provider of continuous-availability software for global enterprises to meet the challenges of Big Data and distributed software development, is pleased to provide the following update for the final quarter of the year ended 31 December 2013.



In the fourth quarter, subscription bookings totalled $4.3m: a record Q4 performance (Q4 2012: $2.5m) and representing a 71 percent year-on-year growth rate. This brings bookings for the full year to a total of $14.8m (FY 2012: $7.92m), representing year-on-year growth of 87 percent.



The ALM business continued to deliver strong growth and sales traction in Q4. ALM bookings in the fourth quarter stood at $4.3m (Q4 2012: $2.5m), representing 71 percent year-on-year growth. Progress in ALM continues to be driven by two factors. One driver is the addition of new, first time customers excited by the potential of our software such as Goldman Sachs, Manulife Financial Corporation, SanDisk, Marvell Technology Group, T. Rowe Price, H3C Technologies, Tangoe Inc. and ASML Holding. The second driver is returning customers, an increasing number of whom are extending their deployment of our software across their organisations and are choosing to make multi-year commitments to our Subversion and GIT solutions. Several major renewals were secured during the quarter including NCR and Juniper Networks.



In the Big Data market, we continue to make good progress. We are currently engaged in a number of Proofs of Concept ("PoC") with potential enterprise customers for our Big Data solutions. We are excited by the potential of these PoCs and would anticipate that a number of them will evolve in to customer relationships during the 2014 financial year.



In addition, we continue to make important steps forward in building out the channel partner base through which future enterprise sales can be delivered. To that end we were pleased to announce on 11 December 2013 a new partnership with Cloudera, a leading provider of enterprise-ready Hadoop solutions. This partnership, added to our existing partnership with Hortonworks and SAP, represents a major milestone in our strategy to become the de-facto solution for continuous availability with Hadoop. We continue to work closely with our channel partners on joint opportunities in the Big Data market.



Commenting on today's Bookings Update David Richards, Executive Chairman and CEO, said:



"This is a record Q4 bookings performance for our business, following what was also a record bookings performance in Q3. Our ALM business continues to deliver rapid growth driven both by the addition of new, blue-chip customers and by the renewal of subscriptions by existing customers, often for extended periods and for increasing numbers of users.



We have secured exciting Proofs of Concept for our Big Data solutions with blue-chip organisations, further proving the strength of our offering here. These are a direct result of the strategic channel partnerships we built last year with Cloudera and Hortonworks and we are delighted that this strategy is producing results so quickly. We look forward to updating the market on our experience of early implementations in due course."



WANdisco will report preliminary results for the year ending 31 December 2013 on Thursday, 20 March 2014.
