4th Galway Data Meetup

The 4th Galway Data Meetup will take place on Tuesday, November the 17th focusing on Apache Mesos (http://mesos.apache.org), a rising start in the Big Data world that abstracts CPU, memory, storage, and other compute resources away from machines (physical or virtual), enabling fault-tolerant and elastic distributed systems to easily be built and run effectively. We will hear from Michael Hausenblas, Developer and Cloud Advocate at Mesosphere, as well as Naoise Dunne, Research Fellow at Insight Centre for Data Analytics, on their experiences with Mesos. The talk will be both a good introduction to Mesos for new users and discuss best practices and use cases for more advanced users.

Note that this Meetup will be held at a new location - BOI Workbench, 22 Mainguard Street in the Galway city centre.

Come early as the supply of local food and seats will be limited!

Agenda:

• 6:30pm: Networking, food and drinks

Talks:

• 7:00pm: Michael Hausenblas (http://mhausenblas.info) & Naoise Dunne (https://www.insight-centre.org/users/naoise-dunne): Mesos delivering mixed batch and realtime data infrastructure

Mesos allows you to organise the machines in your datacenter or cloud as if they were one big computer. It offers huge benefits to both operations staff and developers, easing the operations overhead, reducing costs of running infrastructure and simplifies developers' view of the infrastructure. Mesos allows small startups to work at big scales and large organisations to be agile.

In this talk we will discuss what Mesos is, how it can deliver mixed batch and realtime data services on the same infrastructure. We will discuss experiences from Mesosphere and the Insight Centre for Data Analytics in working with these architectures including tips for newbies and best practices for more experienced users
