Actian Vectorwise

“In an ever-changing climate of risk and fluctuating market conditions, having the right information to make the right decisions is the way to outperform the competition…When we asked respondents to rank the ways in which information brings business value, ‘improves access to high-quality information for better decision making’ is the top choice by far.”

Study after study confirms the truth of this statement made by accenture in their 2007 cIo Study. You know it, your customers know it, and they are putting more and more pressure on you to provide faster, easier to use analytics in your solutions.

the good news is that because analytics create real business value, customers are prepared to pay for new analytic capabilities. Whether it’s a new product module, a pay-per-use self-service query portal, or a powerful visualization tool, companies will pay for better quality information that drives better decisions.

But this isn’t news to you. You know that your customers want better analytics and that they will pay for these capabilities. Your problem is how to deliver. and how to deliver quickly. But your roadmap already extends 18 months out. Very few of your software developers understand how to develop on column store technology. Fewer still know how optimize for the latest hardware. You’ve got a problem.

too Big, too small, too risky

to try to solve this problem, you’ve probably looked at third party options many of which are built around high-priced hardware or have been developed by companies you’ve never heard of and may not be around in a couple of years.

Actian Vectorwise, the right Choice

actian has a solution that we think you should look at. Backed by the security of an industry leader with customers; offices and distribution throughout the world; 24x7 support and a mature toolset that’s been developed to meet the needs of some of the world’s most experience database users, actian has recently launched Vectorwise, a state-of-the-art analytics database.

3 areas of innovation:1. Vector processing takes full advantage of the modern microprocessor driving upto 100 fold improvements in performance.

2. Designed for on-chip cache memory which is two orders of magnitude faster than using raM.

3. Self optimizing, compressed column store means only the data needed for the query is streamed directly to the chip cache. So this means fewer disks which helps reduce power and storage costs.

What Our Partners Say – Partners report that the amount of time queries take to run can be cut in half. In fact, here’s what advanced ecommerce research Systems said “the more work we threw at Vectorwise, the faster it is relative to other databases, it could do any query we tested in under one second where the same query took several minutes on another database.”

Fully Utilize Current Hardware – actian Vectorwise can now efficiently exploit the 95% of modern chip capability that isn’t currently utilized by business software, rather than forcing chip customization or blindly throwing hardware at the problem.

Lower Overall TCO – as actian Vectorwise enables better performance with less hardware; the outcome is more than 10x performance at a fraction of the hardware cost. and the simple self-tuning technology reduces the need for scarce specialist resources.

Improved Green Credentials – actian Vectorwise delivers dramatically greater performance with small servers and radical reductions in disk storage which significantly reduces power

and air conditioning requirements, and the carbon footprint.
