About a year ago we did a comparison (with an update here) of Build your Own Hadoop cluster and a Big Data Appliance, where we focused purely on the hardware and software cost. We thought it could use an update, but luckily an analyst firm did one for us and this time it covers both the Hardware/Software costs, but also ventures a lot more into dealing with other costs. Read all about it in ESG's Getting Real About Big Data, Build vs Buy (Feb 2013) here. Some highlights from...

The first entry is on YouTube and in the Big Data Playlist on Oracle Media Network. It gives a brief overview of setting up Flume flows into HDFS. Of course, if you're looking for a more...

While I miss the excuse to wear an eyepatch, I'm glad more people are beginning to explore a statistical language I've been touting for years. When it comes to plotting or running complex statistics in a single line of code, R is a great tool to have.
