Following on from the Teradata post, I was just wondering how well the newly announced Dataupia (their website is rubbish at explaining what the product is – and I can’t even pronounce the name – but see this article for background: http://www.channelregister.co.uk/2007/05/15/dataupia_databases/) would work with Analysis Services, if you were using Dataupia underneath SQL Server and using AS in ROLAP or HOLAP mode. Could make for an interesting story for scalability if it does what it says on the box.
Dataupia
Thanks for the tip, Chris. We were previously only looking into Netezza/DATAllegro, but Dataupia seems like a worthy competitor, if not a market disruptor.
You pronounce dataupia like eutopia (datopia). The scalability is definitely impressive and Arjun is right, it\’ll be a worthy market disruptor.
