Seems they are pretty happy to reference for other technology vendors (DataDirect, BMC, Verity). They have done a podcast with EMC. There are also some articles about their use of SQL Server. They even have success stories on the IBM site around IBM DB2 software and IBM hardware - but no Informix (at least that I could find). Why don't they reference for Informix ? They sound like a great success story. And it's not too much of a secret that they use Informix in the stores.
