From the article:
...or spent a bit more money (or time), ...One of my goals is to stop spending money on "shiny new objects" and "cure-all snake oil products" that provide little ROI but continue to be championed by people that follow the tired old saw of "Just because you can do something in SQL Server, doesn't mean you should". It's also really difficult to get people to throw away that quarter million dollar "wonder product" even if people still "wonder" how to use it.
Let me guess, your company purchased an MPP appliance?
