Vertica gets the geek chatter when SybaseIQ can actually do it all now--there is a limited-function Vertica download at this time. Business intelligence has swung hard past its tipping point and open-source options are emerging. For example, Pentaho was driving the warehousing and BI section of the MySQL conference. I'll bet Vertica will become "the MySQL to Sybase's Oracle" with a hybrid sales model and community-support options. Maybe Tableau will follow suit. That would be a killer combo. Indeed.

My company, Sybase, makes a product with that kind of capability, the <a href="http://www.sybase.com/products/datawarehousing/sybaseiq" rel="nofollow">Sybase IQ</a> analytics server. It’s already available, with nearly 1,000 customers experiencing tremendous performance acceleration and significant return on investment. As a whole, analytics servers -– both emerging products like SAND and enterprise-class products like Sybase IQ (which includes advanced features like encryption) — are experiencing very high growth. Vertica could very well ride this current wave of success, so it may not matter that the technology described isn't really new.
