Hello all, I'm Bob, and I'm doing product marketing for HDB/HAWQ at Pivotal. I'm new-ish here, and not so much from a coding background as from networking. I'm from Cisco Systems, where I focused on analytics use cases in telecommunications, particularly for mobile network operators, for service assurance, customer care, and customer profiling. (also, as you're introducing yourselves, we'd love to hear what use cases you're involved with, too).
About a year before I left my group at Cisco acquired an MPP database of its own -- ParStream -- for its IoT and fog computing use cases, so it's interesting to come here and learn about the architecture and applications of HAWQ. I hope to help make your experience with HAWQ a good one. If I can help in any way, please reach out to me directly or on the list. Cheers, Bob Bob Glithero | Product Marketing Pivotal, Inc.
