There's no question that a “grid-enabled, column-oriented relational database management system” can, indeed, execute queries 100 times faster than a standard database. Sybase has been demonstrating this for some time with our <a href="http://www.sybase.com/products/datawarehousing/syb... IQ</a> product. In fact, we have documented many customer stories showing a <a href="http://www.sybase.com/detail?id=1041732">1... improvement</a> in query speed; some showing up to a <a href="http://www.sybase.com/detail?id=1038842">1... improvement</a>; and one recent customer story showing a <a href="http://www.sybase.com/detail?id=1040228">1... improvement</a> in query performance.
The entry of Vertica (and others) into this space only goes to show that the analytics server market is heating up. Providing, as we do, an established technology in this space to nearly a thousand customers, that's just fine by us.
