Some interesting posts on Big Data and noSQL

BusinessWeek reports that Hadoop is becoming the dominant choice for organizations dabbling with Big Data. They have cited Walmart, Nokia, GE or BoA, all moving their big data on Hadoop. Here is the article: http://www.businessweek.com/technology/getting-a-handle-on-big-data-with-hadoop-09072011.html
Couple of posts from Nati Shalom is also interesting. First one is on big data platform for real-time analytics and he uses facebook model and tries to refine it. The post: http://natishalom.typepad.com/nati_shaloms_blog/2011/07/real-time-analytics-for-big-data-an-alternative-approach.html

And Alex Popescu's blog should not be missed if you are NoSQL enthusiastic. Here is one dig at Digg's Cassandra implementation: http://nosql.mypopescu.com/post/334198583/presentation-cassandra-in-production-digg-arin

And I found couple of interesting infogpraphics:
First one created by Mozy that shows interesting comparison among largest data centres and second one is a graphical illustration on growth of big data.
