ParAccel launches

I first heard of ParAccel from my relationships with members of the executive team. I was intrigued, but dismissive due to its enterprise ambitions with a column oriented data organization approach. When I heard of the TPC-H results, I immediately checked to see if the test had been revised recently. It hadn’t. While I remain skeptical of the column-oriented approach, the in-memory nature of the calculations and other performance enhancements may be mitigating the challenges that the model has with enterprise workloads. ParAccel could be that breakthrough performance DBMS that will not be toppled easily.
