No, I was thinking that, but I really doubt that would be possible.
Thanks,
Juliette

Yeah, I hope. Otherwise I'll have my management reign hell down on me for choosing Vertica as a solution. For us, Vertica is awesome, so I can't imagine going back to Oracle.

All, please don't be concerned!

From our leadership:
  • We remain committed to our customers and partners. We will continue to provide the highest level of service and will ensure that we complete this transaction with minimal disruption.
  • The new combined company will be one of the world’s largest pure-play software companies. As a more focused company, we’ll be investing in and building world-class software offerings. We recognize how important our software is to your business and we will make sure you get the most value out of it.
  • With this transaction, we will ensure continuity for you. That means building this new company with your needs in mind. HPE’s shareholders will own 50.1% of the new company. In addition, an HPE senior executive will serve on the board of directors and HPE will nominate half of the independent directors.
IMHO: Vertica is going to only get better as we are now separated from the hardware division. We are the flag ship software available in the new company.

Just remember that Vertica started without HP. It will continue to do fine.

Norbert, brilliant response! Yes, we are returning to our roots as a software company. HPE is an awesome company, but it is not where Vertica belongs, hidden deep, unnoticed inside a hardware company! Now we, Vertica, will shine bright in the new company. I am proud to be a part of it!
