Hi Victor,

I'm in the industry as a consultant, analyst, and instructor. I teach for a variety of conferences on a variety of subjects, and author articles for Teradata Magazine, and other publications. I like to check my facts with people before I steer them wrong, just a personal preference - nothing more. Opinions are very important, and are always interesting - I always learn from the exchange, however I just want to be a little more knowledgeable about certain facts before spouting suggestions (again, personal preference).

Yes, comparing apples and oranges - true, however it's important to know what the performance is in order to make alternative suggestions along with impacts of those suggestions when recommending to clients what the architecture can potentially be when implementing systems. It also helps to provide a context in which a frame-work of expectations can be built and managed with the customer (but I'm sure I'm singing to the choir).

Friends of Teradata Network is a group of industry analysts and well-known parties that is in a similar position of instruction, publication, and speaking engagements around the world. Not a new initiative, just a group of people with whom I associate with.

Thanks,

Dan Linstedt
