As follow-up to the UK IUA 2010 and the video of the Ingres VectorWise demonstration the Ingres Emerging Technologies Team has created an Amazon Machine Image (AMI) with a pre-installed evaluation copy of Ingres VectorWise. The Ingres Community wiki page has some simple instructions to get started. As a guideline to the cost, I ran [...]
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 [...]

Most notably, this year’s keynote speakers were Roger Burqhart, Phillip Andrew from RedHat and Dr. Ian Howells from Alfresco each with a similar message; Open source is a key [...]
Following the popularity and attendance at last year’s code sprint a repeat of the event was held on the two days prior to the UK IUA. The objective of the event was to introduce, and in some cases re-introduce, the sprinters to the Ingres source code and build environment; either a pre-configured VMWare virtual machine [...]
As alluded to in a previous post I have been working with the Appliance development team on the Ingres Icebreaker BI appliance with Jasperserver 3.1 announced GA today. The work to keep up with the Jaspersoft release cycle is in progress and early functionality tests a re looking good. I’ve kept some brief notes on [...]
