Abstract
Getting the most out of the hardware is key to overall system performance. As Hadoop becomes mainstream, most hardware manufacturers have begun to offer Hadoop nodes containing both servers and storage that are specifically designed for Hadoop clusters. But which factors impact Hadoop storage performance and manageability? As a followup to his well received presentation at SDC 2011, Green Platform CTO and founder , Gus Malek-Madani, a leading expert in vibration management, will share test results that show how normal levels of micro vibration in data centers add latency and reduce the effective performance of your Hadoop clusters.
Learning Objectives
Understand the Vibration Penalty on the performance of Hadoop nodes
Understand how performance-killing vibration exacerbates the storage bottleneck in Big Data applications
Understand the benefits of removing vibration
