Reduce costs and improve performance

  • Compress data efficiently with technologies such as column-store compression, optimized database page formats for variable-sized data, N-bit fast projection indexes, and improved I/O rates
  • Lower costs with compression algorithms that reduce data storage volumes

Extend analytics across users and processes

  • Scale to meet business needs with an expandable, grid-based, parallel processing architecture that offers shared-store and shared-nothing options
  • Add nodes and share them easily with automatic resource balancing
  • Manage self-service resource demands for thousands of users concurrently
