Doug Cutting, Cloudera Chief Architect and Chairman of the Apache Software Foundation, helped create Apache Hadoop out of necessity as data from the web exploded, and grew far beyond the ability of traditional systems to handle it. Hadoop was initially inspired by papers published by Google outlining its approach to handling an avalanche of data, and has since become the de facto standard for storing, processing and analyzing hundreds of terabytes, and even petabytes of data. Apache Hadoop is 100% open source, and pioneered a fundamentally new way of storing and processing data.
