         <link>http://tholis.webnode.com/news/praise-for-pentaho-solutions/</link>
         <description><![CDATA[Reactions to the new Pentaho book I wrote together with Roland Bouman are all very positive. I especially like the extended reviews on Amazon, but the following Tweet by Mark Dathorne really blew me away:
Reading "Creating Pentaho Solutions" ... my last life changing book was "Spring in Action" ... the vibes are good for this one too!

         <description><![CDATA[People still hesitating to take a peek at open source BI solutions are now served with the easiest way by far to have a complete BI solution in operation within minutes (!). Pentaho and Infobright have jointly developed a Virtual Machine that can be downloaded from the Infobright site. Setting it up is extremely easy: download the file, hook it up to your favorite VM software (it's a VMWare image but Virtualbox from Sun runs it just as well) and you have a full featured BI solution with a fast...]]></description>

         <link>http://tholis.webnode.com/news/interesting-tdwi-post/</link>
         <description><![CDATA[The latest post on the TDWI site by Stephen Swoyer about bulk load performance contains several paragraphs written by Jos van Dongen based on his TPC-H SF100 load experiments. Please beware that there is one misquote in the article: Steve writes that OS DB's cannot load faster than 20-30 GB/Hr. This is not an absolute number and only correct considering the hardware mentioned. You can probably load &gt; 100GB with a bunch of fast SSD or SAS disks in Raid 0 or 10 but it's beyond our budget to...]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[It's not even on the MonetDB website, but the new February 2009 release has been uploaded to the MonetDB download area. The good news: native installers for Debian and Ubuntu added, both 32 and 64 bit. Other good news: you can run a SF100 (100 GB) TPC-H database on a regular PC. Don't expect magic though: it's still a memory optimized column store so with only 8 GB of RAM some queries take about an hour to complete. Still, considerable performance and stability improvements compared to the...]]></description>
