“'You can do a lot if you have a supercomputer. But we’re not building these things on multi-million dollar supercomputing machines,' he says. 'Most people can’t afford that and the Army can’t go dragging those around. So the challenge is how do you provide people with analytics on a lot of data on modest machinery that’s still very fast. The techniques we’re using are very cutting edge, and allow you to run Hadoop on a large amount of data.'”
