The Word on the Street (Teradata, Netezza, Vertica, ParAccel, Greenplum)

Vertica on a Stick
Can you believe it? A bootable 16 Gb thumb-drive with Linux, GUI, Vertica AND room for data!?
Yes, I admit it. I am a geek. But how cool is this. Imagine developing, prototyping, and presenting a data warehouse without procuring a server, installing Linux, or commandeering your hard drive. Everything you need is on a small bootable USB thumb-drive.
Can Netezza Search for Aliens?
While I am on the innovation “rant” it reminds me of a few discussions I had with some of the brass at Netezza. I have been fortunate to have been invited to the Netezza campus a few times and we had a few blue-sky sessions. (This was before they got their new digs and their IPO.)

After talking with them for a while, you just knew they have been around the block once or twice.
My name is Charles, but my friends call me Charlie. A running joke with those who know me is that I am a terrible wine snob. Or should I say I am terrible at wine snobbery. I know all the moves and can put on a good show but couldn’t tell the difference between 2 buck chuck and Grey Poupon.
