bah. that's nothing! my team put over 3 billion rows into amazons cloud in a matter of hours without having to deal with the vagaries of sdb :)

to the best of my knowledge, oracle was the bottleneck because the oracle instance is an actual high volume production database and the IR process was restrained to minimize the impact to production users.

Correct.

SenSage has customer whose database size is up to petabyte. Some of SenSage customer load up to multiple Terabytes in a day.

What is the customer's industry sector and what kind of data do they store there? Is SenSage have much success pushing their solution to other similar companies?

And also how is SenSage doing overall? I don't hear much in the press these days and assume either (a) not going so well; or more hopefully (b) they and their customers find each other in more private circles and there's no need to grab all the headlines.

I care because I worked on the product for almost 4 years starting from when we were in a living room/den/kitchen in Berkeley. Good times.
