Microsoft, as a new comer in the EDW giant club, is struggling to put is SQL Server system as an Enterprise Data Warehouse tool. Can SQL Server qualify for the job? Well, compared to its competitors like Teradata, IBM, and Oracle, MS SQL Server 2005 is only capable of managing several terabytes. Hopefully, SQL Server 2008 can manage upto hundreds of TBs. Another problem with SQL Server, is that it works only on MS operating systems. Issues with MPP technolgies may be partially solved by the acquisition of DATAllegro. But how about the data federation, data quality, and metadata management tools?
In this game, MS is far away from being the market influencer.
