It doesn’t surprise us that three of InfoWorld’s 2010 Technology of the Year Awards involved MapReduce, Hadoop and NoSQL technologies.  We want to congratulate our partners at Amazon Web Services for extending “to just about every dimension of cloud computing currently known.” And congratulations to the Apache Foundation for its Apache Hadoop, an open source solution for managing very large, parallel processed datasets. As InfoWorld puts it, “Though the concept is simple, the result is powerful.”
