Accelerate Database Read Performance and Get More from Enterprise SAN with STEC SSDs and Oracle ASM
Wednesday, February 6, 2013
 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM CST

**Accelerate Database Read Performance and Get More from Enterprise SAN with STEC SSDs and Oracle ASM**

DBA's rely on enterprise storage for availability and SLAs. Once the storage servers begin reaching the IO limit, implementing the next SAN can be very costly. In this webinar STEC Director of Systems Architecture Gurinder Brar and Chief Solutions Architect Bruce Moxon will present how DBA's can utilize server side SSDs and Oracle ASM for significant cost savings, easily migrate read workloads to servers, provide faster reads, and extend the life of SAN.

Key benefits of the solution to be presented include:

  • Significantly faster DSS query processing time
  • Deploys in minutes with no changes to the application
  • Maintains all existing backup, data protection, and high availability policies
  • Offloads extensive read workloads from storage arrays for better utilization
  • Extends the life of existing storage infrastructure

Featured speakers: Gurinder Brar, Director Systems Architecture & Bruce Moxon, Chief Solutions Architect

Cloudera Impala: Real-Time Queries in Apache Hadoop
Wednesday, February 20, 2013
12:00 PM - 1:00 PM CST

The Cloudera Impala project is for the first time making scalable parallel database technology, which is the underpinning of Google's Dremel as well as that of commercial analytic DBMSs, available to the Hadoop community. With Impala, the Hadoop community now has an open-sourced codebase that allows users to issue low-latency queries to data stored in HDFS and Apache HBase using familiar SQL operators.

This talk will start out with an overview of Impala from the user's perspective, followed by a presentation of Impala's architecture and implementation, and will conclude with a comparison of Impala with Apache Hive, commercial MapReduce alternatives, and traditional data warehouse infrastructure.

Featured Speaker: Justin Erickson, Product Manager, Cloudera
