My name is Mark Bradford and I've been in IT for about 22 years, ranging from computer operations in the military to Network administration to Unix/Linux Administration/Middleware. I have very little experience with Hadoop and have been tasked to make it DR ready. We have a second location that is about 250 miles away and we are planning on building a second cluster there, but aren't sure how to approach it. Thanks!

I am Mobin Ranjbar and I have been studying Software Engineering. I am a big data evangelist and I am really interested in business aspects of Big Data World as I am a mentor of Lean Startup Method.

I really love Cloudera and I have contributed in one of its project called 'Hue'. Actually I started my big data journey by installing Cloudera Quick Start VM.

We have also our own Hadoop cluster running and we are using Hue as our web interface.

I am really happy to be here.

Hi Clint,

I'm Pranati having 8 years of experience in Microsoft Technologies which is mostly C# with .NET. I started getting a keen interest in Big Data using Hadoop and I took the risk of taking a break of a month or two to learn more about the same.

I even wanted to give Cloudera Certification to take my first baby step in this world. 

Regards,

Pranati
