For people who may not know me, I'm the person who wrote ganglia in 1999,
open-sourced it the following year and then worked to create a strong,
sustainable community around the software. Take a quick peak at the ganglia
web site <http://ganglia.info/> and you see just how pervasively ganglia is
deployed around the world, on dozens of platforms, at scales that would
crush other monitoring systems. I never imagined, when I started work on
ganglia, that it would still be going strong ten years later. The credit
for the success of ganglia goes to the volunteers, hackers and operators who
have written responses to support requests, submitted code patches and
provided detailed bug reports.
While I played a leadership role in the first five years of the project, my
role in the project the last five years has been minimal as I focused my
efforts on developing new technologies at startups in Silicon Valley.
Luckily, the ganglia community has had no shortage of leaders like Bernard
Li and Brad Nicholes who have stepped up to keep us moving forward.
In Jan 2009, I joined a startup called Cloudera <http://www.cloudera.com/>.
In a nutshell, we enable our customers to build clusters that are capable
of storing and processing multiple petabytes of structured and unstructured
complex data. Cloudera is a great fit for me personally because I'm an
open-source advocate who loves to work on distributed software that runs at
scale. The platform that Cloudera
provides<http://www.cloudera.com/downloads/> for
distributed data analysis is free, Apache-licensed and open-source and has
proven to help extract value from data on clusters with 32 nodes or 2000.
We also have a suite of Enterprise software that complements our platform
and provides a desktop environment inside your web browser for managing your
cluster and data.
While the overall economy is slowly moving toward recovery, the growth at
Cloudera over the last two years has been astonishing. I'd love nothing
more than to work side-by-side with you at Cloudera. As a member of the
ganglia community, you understand the unique challenges of deploying,
configuring and monitoring clusters at scale. You can see the list of
available positions on our Careers web
page<http://www.cloudera.com/company/careers/>.
By the way, we're not just looking for talented cluster admins but also
general IT gurus to help us manage our infrastructure as our company
expands. If you would like to learn more, please don't hesitate to email me
at <matt at cloudera dot com>. I'm looking forward to hearing from you.
To ten more years.
-Matt
