Not Pictured

Hello and welcome to my BeyeNETWORK blog! I will use this blog to share my thoughts and observations on new analytic business applications and data management : vendor briefings, case studies, events and other activities that stimulate ideas will be the source. I believe the emergence of this new class of application, and new emerging data management tools, herald a next step in the maturity of information technology, and I'm excited to be present for its emergence. I hope my blog entries will stimulate ideas that will serve both the vendors creating these new solutions and the companies that will improve their business prospects as a result of applying them. Please share your thoughts and input on the topics.

Microsoft chose a user group meeting, Professional Association for SQL Server (PASS), for the rollout of its long-awaited, and late, SQL Server 2008 R2 Parallel Data Warehouse

dates in product names.) PDW is late to market; there are other MPP
DBMS players there already, and Microsoft is behind in functionality
compared to some of them. Some of the most eagerly--awaited features are
evidently not slated for the first release. It's also far behind its
originally planned ship date following the acquisition of DatAllegro in
2008.
