Perhaps one more under "Challenges":

This may be non-PC, but the Vintra name sounds very Indian and gives me a bias against them. Mostly because India is commonly associated with low-cost IT support and grinding out mediocre code from big contracting houses, not the kind of developers I would expect to product reliable analytics.

Do you have any bias against Spaniards?

That seems like a somewhat insane thing to say about a company. It also seems pretty ignorant considering the sur name Vyntra is Greek and "Vintra" isn't an actual word. 

 

Just wow.

Agreed.

fwiw, I don’t have much experience with tech support in India, but I have hired at least a dozen Indian programmers that lived in the U.S. on work visas, they were all as sharp as they come.

Notable issue, the V100 is not 3 grand. The Titan V is.

Also, they are getting around 5 streams through a P5000.
