IBM and EMC team up: There’s no “I” in open source | #BigDataNYC

Sometimes when you are distracting the signal from the noise, you get an exclusive. Today theCUBE, from the SiliconANGLE Media team, got the full story on the EMC and IBM partnership to work in an open-source environment to make Hadoop more accessible to the enterprise.
Joel Horwitz, VP of Big Data marketing for IBM, and Ryan Peterson, chief solutions strategist for EMC, sat down with John Furrier and Dave Vellante, cohosts of theCUBE, to announce their latest project in open source.
Competition is relative
The team is working with the Open Data Platform initiative (ODPi), combining the forces of EMC’s Isilon and IBM’s Insights to meet the demand for customer SLAs and solutions. The basic premise is to fund the project to make Hadoop easier to deploy for the enterprise.
If there is one lesson learned from open source, it is that collaboration brings results. According to Horwitz, “There are business units that compete and business units that can work together. You cannot be 100 percent competitive.”
Demanding solutions
Horwitz went on to explain that there is customer demand for solutions and this partnership is about investing in moving faster toward results and providing choice and less complexity in an open community. The two companies are working together to take the friction out of working in ODPi, which has been a systemic problem with Hadoop. There is a need to remove existing obstacles so the entire market can grow.
Horwitz said, “There is a misconception that Hadoop is a Greenfield opportunity.” In his experience, the people getting most benefit are those who are pulling Hadoop into their existing system and using it to derive new value.
Peterson described the first customer use case of the partnership as successful. “The customer essentially installed it and started using it, and we haven’t seen any problems,” he said.
Alternative storage
For three years, enterprise has been storing data in data warehouses, the cloud and Hadoop. The conversation at BigDataNYC 2015 included Spark making it easier for people to get value out of this information.
So where do they see data residing? According to Horwitz, 50 percent of data is already in the cloud, but he said that is not mutually exclusive. He asserted that most enterprise organizations are using a hybrid cloud scenario.
Culture shock
Protecting data has always been the number one priority within the enterprise. Sharing it within the same company is often difficult. Horwitz explained, “There is a culture shock going on within the enterprise. In the past, it was, ‘Protect data. It’s a liability.’ Now it’s, ‘Open it up. Get deep within your data there’s value.’”
While certain industries need to protect their data, it is clear that security and governance is not changing. Peterson believes the importance lies in enabling data to run analytics. This is where there will be a clear impact on business.
