Ok,
Here are two articles that came up in a google search that happen to have caught my eye.
http://www.networkworld.com/news/2009/121709-big-three-database-vendors-diverge.html?page=1
http://www.itworldcanada.com/news/big-three-database-vendors-disagree-on-hadoop/139613-pg2
If they look similar, its because both articles are from the same author.
The point, for those who are reading challenged, is that unlike the clown, Hadoop and HBase have some merit and that they've caught the eyes of some senior management types. IBM, Microsoft and Oracle should be concerned because of this on several different levels.
Anant D. Jhingran from IBM's IM team seemed to be interested in this....
Now he's the CTO of IBM SWG IM pillar, no?
I wonder who some of those select customers are... ;-)
Maybe one of them OEM's IDS?
But hey! What do I know?
Jerry doesn't return my calls and won't come to Chi-town to play!
With IBM making scads of money by Offshoring as much as possible to lower cost countries and setting revenue records, one would hope that they would rescind their travel restrictions. I mean no offense, but you have a customer, Peapod, who gave a presentation on IDS @ IOD that doesn't have an IT Specialist that calls on them. (Rob B. is the local IT Specialist in all of IL that knows IDS, yet Peapod isn't covered by the local sales team, so they get no luv.) I forget... but is it that the IT Specialists are in S&D and matrixed to the lab? No?
Yet I digress. Maybe Jerry might come to Chicago and do a meet and greet with some of IBM's IDS remaining accounts here in Chi-town. If he decides to stay downtown, I'd recommend the Drake Hotel. Its a Hilton property, but a really nice hotel and should be on the IBM hotel plan.
So Jerry, drop me a line. Stuart has the number if you lost it. ;-)
