While the conference is not over, there have been some great things that I have seen and heard at the conference. First there is a vendor, shaspa, who is displaying the full enterprises edition of Informix running on a computer (ARMv7) that will fit in your pocket. Then I attend the Paddy Power (an online gaming company in Ireland) who explained their environment and how they achieved 2 million transaction a second on a single AIX P series computer also on the Informix Enterprise edition. Is this not scalability?
Also at the conference the NoSQL JSON document store feature set released in 12.10 has been very well received. The tutorial session had 250 people attend. The hybrid storage and hybrid application capabilities have really hit the mark with many customers. Being able to store both JSON documents and SQL tables in a single database while leveraging a single application using either MongoDB open source drivers or the traditional SQL drivers access both types of data has really hit the mark for enterprises customer technology requirements.
