Vertica Systems is the market innovator for high-performance analytic database management systems that run on industry-standard hardware running Red Hat Enterprise Linux. The Vertica Analytic database was purpose-built from the ground up to handle the most demanding business intelligence and warehousing workloads. Co-founded by database pioneer Dr. Michael Stonebraker, Vertica has developed grid-based, column-oriented analytic database technology that lets companies of any size store and query very large databases orders of magnitude faster and more affordably than other solutions. Unlike traditional row-based database management systems, Vertica stores the data in columns on disk which are optimized for BI retrieval and high availability, especially for ad-hoc queries. From the end-user and DBA's perspective, Vertica looks and feels like any other database with the advantages of speed and simplicity to manage. The Vertica Analytic database's unmatched speed, scalability, flexibility, and ease of use helps customers like JP Morgan Chase, Verizon, Mozilla, Comcast, Level 3 Communications, and Vonage capitalize on business opportunities in real time.
Today's BI reporting tools are only as good as the underlying databases that feed them. In today's super-crunching world where data offers significant competitive advantages for anything from major league baseball teams to hedge funds, it is critical to maximize these tools and to not be bottlenecked by the database. The Vertica Analytic database lets businesses do what they never thought was possible due to the performance limitations and high costs of traditional databases and proprietary analytic appliance hardware. You can give more people the freedom to query more data faster due to the following combination of Vertica Analytic database advantages:
From a developer's perspective, the Vertica Analytic database looks very standard; it supports SQL, ACID transactions, ODBC, and JDBC, and it works with popular ETL and BI reporting products. Underneath the covers, it's a different story. Vertica is a brand-new type of relational DBMS for today's large-scale, operational, and predictive analytic database applications, and it features ground-breaking architectural features such as:
The Vertica Analytic database is available as software only, as an appliance on Hewlett-Packard Bladesystems, or online in the cloud (hosted on Amazon EC2).

Vertica has teamed with HP and Red Hat to offer a unique software-hardware data management bundle for business analytics. This solution lets companies conduct real-time and ad-hoc queries on terabytes of data in just a few seconds so more customers can get more questions answered faster.
Offloading certain analytic workloads from an existing EDW based on popular solutions, like Oracle, DB2, and Teradata, to a Vertica® Analytic database makes it possible to increase the performance and longevity of the EDW and to satisfy the ever-growing requests for information from the business.
The grid-based, column-oriented Vertica® Analytic database is well-known for its blinding query performance against large volumes of data. But unlike other column databases, Vertica has the unique ability to insert data at very high rates of speed. It can even load on a non-stop basis while the database is being queried, thus enabling real-time analysis. This paper describes how Vertica loads data and highlights customer cases to illustrate loading speeds achieved in production.
