"The Kickfire appliance is an amazing machine that deserves a look if you're into data warehousing or need super speed for your queries of any kind. Remember this: 10% of the price, 10% of the power consumption, 100% of the performance of any other data warehousing solution.

"That's the ultimate Linux device for which we've been searching. Innovative, creative, inexpensive, powerful. I just don't know if it gets any better than that."
