SiliconANGLE founder John Furrier and Wikibon.org founder Dave Vellante are at it again.  Our “resident anchormen” have been traveling the world with #theCUBE, covering the cloud from every angle.  This week they’re at Hadoop World, an event we’ve especially been looking forward to for several weeks now.  Backed by Cloudera, Hadoop’s open-source cloud tools are making their way to the enterprise–a move made crystal clear at this second annual Hadoop conference in NYC.

This year Tim O’Reilly is headlining the conference, with a number of other special guests, speakers and companies being represented.  Cloudera itself is making a few announcements, including the launch of OraOop and releasing Hadoop Beta 3.  Be sure to catch our constant coverage of Hadoop World, here at SiliconANGLE’s blog (look to the right –>), as well as SiliconANGLE.tv, our very own network channel, and a first of its kind.

“Hadoop is going mainstream beyond the typical Web 2.0 culprits like Yahoo, Google, Facebook and Twitter and into traditional industries such as financial services, manufacturing and life sciences,” says Dave Vellante.  “Hadoop is all about analyzing and managing data – lots of data – and everyone has tons of data to manage. Hadoop is exploding with typical deployments well over 100TBs and many at the petabyte and many thousand node scale. Data is growing faster than the machines’ abilities to keep up and Hadoop is one of the solutions that will solve this problem.”

Here are the top 5 reasons Hadoop World is a killer this year:
