Is it all over for Exaggerdata? As you can see in Phil’s post A “Fud-Machine” in Overdrive  his points further validate that Oracle is really in FUD overdrive as you read their ill informed and erratic comments in the blog Oracle approved post a_not_so_fabulous_new_release, just the mention of a non open Linux running on the FPGA’s is out there. Where did they get that information? Not from us I assure you because an FPGA has no operating system

 
I find it damn amusing that Oracle has to resort to outright misrepresentations to combat the technology of a company 100th their size. What I like is that they find it necessary to do it because we are kicking their ass in the field. So when you read all the FUD from the biggest database vendor in the world who has only gone into the appliance business because Netezza has validated the market, I can only say take it from where it comes. In my typical first liberated style as far as them being faster, cheaper and they don’t dare say simpler I say SHOW ME and I am not from Missouri.
 
Do not be fooled by imposters especially when they have more money to spread FUD then the government has thrown at the clunker buy back program. I challenge them to prove their claims and go head to head in a POC sponsored by a third party who can define a real world data warehouse test using real data and real analytics. Oracle talks about open standards and they are the least compliant with open standards and hope you use their proprietary features like PL/SQL so you cannot move. Open to Oracle is when everything you have is provided by Oracle. Not everyone is going to fall for their claims and I for one know without doubt that if I build against Netezza that moving it to another database is pretty straight forward. Not so with Oracle. There is a whole bunch of technology people out there that will not fall for their crap and you should continue to insist on all the things I have been talking about since I started the data liberators movement.
