| 2009/07/31 "The Netezza price point"
One reason everybody talks about the "Netezza (list) price" is that it hasn't been changing much, seemingly staying stable at $50-60K/terabyte for a long time. And thus Teradata's 2550 and Oracle's larger-disk Exadata configuration - both priced more or less in the same range - have clearly been price-competitive with Netezza since their respective introductions. That just changed. Netezza is cutting its pricing to the $20K/terabyte range imminently, with further cuts to come. So where does that leave competitors?...
