Baskette joined Dave Vellante and George Gilbert, cohosts of theCUBE, from the SiliconANGLE Media team, in a sit-down interview at BigDataNYC 2015 during Strata + Hadoop World. “We’re starting with 10-plus years of Greenplum engineering and coming at it from a different angle,” Baskette said, discussing Pivotal’s decision to open source the Pivotal Greenplum Database. He imagines a future where data products are available as microservices. Building a stronger ecosystem During the interview, Baskette discussed how Pivotal is making HAWQ Hadoop native, how Pivotal’s customers are adapting to change, how different products interact to build a stronger ecosystem and what customers are looking for in the marketplace. “Customers want tools to come into the ecosystem and work without a bunch of changes,” said Baskette. “What Pivotal has is Big Data, fast data, streaming data and development of cloud on top of that, which gives us the advantage in the market that other companies don’t have.” @theCUBE #BigDataNYC
