Big thanks to Bill Maimone, Norm and the INGRES team for helping us explore the VectorWise solution proposition.
It will certainly be interesting to follow INGRES' road map into 2011: whether they will follow their competitors with an MPP offering or if they will revitalize the super-server (mainframe) model of computing. Clearly, there was quite a bit of thorough and high-quality feedback from the audience.
Although the commentary was a bit too exclusive to the needs of financial services institutions, I certainly hope that there was educational value in the insights for both vendor and our members.
And if portions of this round-table were not eye openers, perhaps they were bottle openers instead!
If you have after-thoughts to raise, please add them via:

Don't forget, our first Social is on Septembers 30th at Ink 48 - RSVPs are open:

Regards,
Yuriy
