It’s a busy time of year

Lots of vendors bring out new releases at this time of year. Here are three of the less obvious but interesting ones in the database/warehousing/analytics space

IBM and DB2 version 10

The latest version of DB2 for Linux, UNIX and Windows is now available. Perhaps most interestingly DB2 can now act as a graph store.

Who will be Snow White?

Six of the new generation of warehousing vendors have been acquired. Is there anything useful to conclude about the companies being bought?
