Fair enough. I've been in large companies for too long, it seems. We'll pinch pennies over things like coffee and continuing education, but we're still paying those Teradata and SAS bills.
Why do you think people are moving to Hadoop ?
That cost that you glossed over is massive. Teradata is very, very expensive. It's great. It works. But it's expensive. Especially if you want to store large amounts of data e.g. networks or web traffic.
