If he searches for that I am sure he will find it. From my side it can only be a matter of time before ParAccel goes the way of Aster and is absorbed. From SAND’s side independence is what builds strong companies, those who remember Oracle’s OPEN mantra of years ago, or Microsoft’s ubiquity on all the PC’s there were. Looking at Microstrategy today I see a company enjoying the benefits of independence, innovation and agility. I welcome this next step in the column store market as SAND is rapidly becoming the last and largest at 600+ customers.

It reported that we are at a tipping point to finally be able to utilize the vast data that is created daily. I wish I could find the URL so I could post it.
