  • Netezza EOL: IBM IAS Is a Flawed Upgrade Path Netezza EOL: IBM IAS Is a Flawed Upgrade Path
    Author: Marc Staimer WHITE PAPER Netezza EOL: What You’re Not Being Told About IBM IAS Is a Flawed Upgrade Path Database as a Service (DBaaS) WHITE PAPER • Netezza EOL: IBM IAS Is a Flawed Upgrade Path Netezza EOL: IBM IAS Is a Flawed Upgrade Path Executive Summary It is a common technology vendor fallacy to compare their systems with their competitors by focusing on the features, functions, and specifications they have, but the other guy doesn’t. Vendors ignore the opposite while touting hardware specs that mean little. It doesn’t matter if those features, functions, and specifications provide anything meaningfully empirical to the business applications that rely on the system. It only matters if it demonstrates an advantage on paper. This is called specsmanship. It’s similar to starting an argument with proof points. The specs, features, and functions are proof points that the system can solve specific operational problems. They are the “what” that solves the problem or problems. They mean nothing by themselves. Specsmanship is defined by Wikipedia as: “inappropriate use of specifications or measurement results to establish supposed superiority of one entity over another, generally when no such superiority exists.” It’s the frequent ineffective sales process utilized by IBM. A textbook example of this is IBM’s attempt to move their Netezza users to the IBM Integrated Analytics System (IIAS). IBM is compelling their users to move away from Netezza. In the fall of 2017, IBM announced to the Enzee community (Netezza users) that they can no longer purchase or upgrade PureData System for Analytics (the most recent IBM name for its Netezza appliances), and it will end-of-life all support next year.

    Eclipse (software) 1 Eclipse (software) Eclipse Screenshot of Eclipse 3.6 Developer(s) Free and open source software community Stable release 3.6.2 Helios / 25 February 2011 Preview release 3.7M6 / 10 March 2011 Development status Active Written in Java Operating system Cross-platform: Linux, Mac OS X, Solaris, Windows Platform Java SE, Standard Widget Toolkit Available in Multilingual Type Software development License Eclipse Public License Website [1] Eclipse is a multi-language software development environment comprising an integrated development environment (IDE) and an extensible plug-in system. It is written mostly in Java and can be used to develop applications in Java and, by means of various plug-ins, other programming languages including Ada, C, C++, COBOL, Perl, PHP, Python, Ruby (including Ruby on Rails framework), Scala, Clojure, and Scheme. The IDE is often called Eclipse ADT for Ada, Eclipse CDT for C/C++, Eclipse JDT for Java, and Eclipse PDT for PHP. The initial codebase originated from VisualAge.[2] In its default form it is meant for Java developers, consisting of the Java Development Tools (JDT). Users can extend its abilities by installing plug-ins written for the Eclipse software framework, such as development toolkits for other programming languages, and can write and contribute their own plug-in modules. Released under the terms of the Eclipse Public License, Eclipse is free and open source software. It was one of the first IDEs to run under GNU Classpath and it runs without issues under IcedTea. Eclipse (software) 2 Architecture Eclipse employs plug-ins in order to provide all of its functionality on top of (and including) the runtime system, in contrast to some other applications where functionality is typically hard coded.
