This year’s IUA conference; a crammed packed one day event with 5 streams of sessions with keynotes from Ingres‘ CEO Roger Burkhardt, Novell‘s Director of Product Management Dr. Gerald Pfeifer and Talend‘s François Mero.
Ingres announced the release of Ingres VectorWise with a “see it to believe it” live demonstration; identical analytical queries run on a closed source DBMS (DBX) on 50 million rows and Ingres VectorWise on 100 million rows of data. Don’t hold your breath for DBX returning in around 52 seconds, but don’t blink with Ingres VectorWise or you’ll miss it returning in just under 2 seconds. Analytical queries with large data sets are the target and the audience was encouraged to try it out for themselves using their own data and sharing their “vectorised” findings.
In conjunction with the Ingres VectorWise announcement; Novell showed SuSE Studio with ability to create SuSE JeOS (Just enough Operating System) appliances that include Ingres; Talend announced the availability of a set of Ingres VectorWise connectors for Talend.
Joe Kronk and Emma McGrattan provided a debriefing for this year’s pre-conference code sprint. 30 people attended 4 focus areas, Ingres server, migration wizard toolkit, management tools and OpenROAD.
Rick van der Lans, winner of last year’s Ingres Community Award, presented the award to this year’s winner Karl Schendel. Congratulations Karl.
The conference provided many informative sessions and an ideal environment for networking.
Mark 07/Jun/2011 in your calendars for next year’s conference.
