• Cloud computing’s dual identity | The Pervasive Data Center – CNET News
  "Cloud computing has become a sort of blanket term for where computing is going. Think of it as a synonym for "computing.next."

• Cascading
  "Cascading is a feature rich API for defining and executing complex, scale-free, and fault tolerant data processing workflows on a Hadoop cluster.

  The processing API lets the developer quickly assemble complex distributed processes without having to "think" in MapReduce. And to efficiently schedule them based on their dependencies and other available meta-data. Obviously simple data processing applications are supported as well, as complex jobs tend to start simple."
