CoffeeCAST #31 - Talking with Ellen Rubin of Netezza
Welcome to the 31st CoffeeCAST with Stephen Hayward
of Project X. Today I have Ellen Rubin, VP Marketing of Netezza joining me. I would like to thank Brian over at Schwartz PR for helping set this up.
So here I am enjoying a cup of Starbucks brewed at home as we are doing this over the phone. Today we had a chance to chat about:
- Introduction to Netezza
- Discontinuity in the marketplace between demand and data and disruptive innovation
- Value to customers
- ad-hoc, what-if, simplify, drive cost out
- eXtreme performance and ease of use
- The Conference (started yesterday)
- Keynotes by Clayton Christensen (co-author of The Innovator's Solution a must read) and Edward Zander (Chairman and CEO of Motorola)
- Some great topics and announcements
- Discussion of 5000 series and it's value in the smaller scaled enterprise (disrupting the Oracle, Teradata, DB2 and now the SQL Server markets)
- And last but not least we compare Netezza to Apple as innovators and disruptors somewhat tongue-in-cheek.
So thank you Ellen who was a last minute stand-in for the new President and COO Jim Baum. I really enjoyed the chat and appreciated the time. I am hoping to be at the conference today, so may have some serious amounts of customer interviews and the like...
