Sybase IQ 15

We used to believe that Sybase IQ faced two hurdles: its column-based
technology (which was not well understood by the market) and disbelief
that it could genuinely offer the performance advantages it claims.
However, we do not think that either of these are obstacles anymore.
In the first case, Sybase has proved the column-based concept with
repeated success in many leading companies. Secondly, both Sybase,
as well as the appliance vendors, have made it quite clear that better
analytics performance is truly possible, whetting the appetites of companies
who still struggle with traditional relational databases in queryintensive
applications.
