GigaOM’s Structure:Data conference will examine the future of Hadoop

• 

If there’s one big Hadoop theme at Structure:Data, it’s that people shouldn’t be asking ‘What’s next after Hadoop?’ but rather, ‘What will Hadoop become next?’

“If there’s one big Hadoop theme at Structure:Data, it’s that people shouldn’t be asking ‘What’s next after Hadoop?’ but rather, ‘What will Hadoop become next?’,” says Derrick Harris, senior writer for GigaOM and chair of Structure:Data 2013. “We’ll attempt to answer that question as we examine how leading companies are using Hadoop.”

In just 10 years, Hadoop has evolved from a Yahoo! search engine fix to a general-purpose computing platform that is poised to be the foundation for the next generation of data-based applications. Harris’s four-part series on Hadoop provides a primer on the company’s history, future and most promising applications. In a recent GigaOM podcast, he explained why Hadoop is here to stay.

In addition to panels and presentations, Structure:Data attendees will have access to more than 16 workshops, plus two mapping sessions led by GigaOM Research analysts on cloud databases and data marketplaces. Attendees will also receive a complimentary GigaOM Research Sector RoadMap™ report on next-generation databases.

A limited number of tickets for Structure:Data are still available. Follow @GigaOM on Twitter (#dataconf) to stay up to date on speakers, sessions and special events.
