Well, at least one company still has the guts to call out Hadoop. I’m OK if it’s the guys known for postage meters who are embracing the open source Big Data project. They’re used to getting real work done with behind-the-scenes technology that enables their business.
The fact is that the less you hear about Hadoop, the more popular it’s likely becoming. As a back-end workhorse for huge volumes of data, it’s the way to go.
