Actian and Big Data Get Fast Answers
April 2, 2013
Actian is already a leader when it comes to big data management thanks to its analytics database Vectorwise Action Apps and it seems that they are focused on making a good thing even better. The Fort Mills Times article “Actian Announces Availability of Vectorwise 3.0 for Getting Fast Answers from Big Data” talks about Actian Corp and the introduction of its new Vectorwise 3.0 analytics database with advanced Hadoop integration. The Vectorwise 3.0 analytic database allows companies to integrate Hadoop using the Vectorwise Hadoop Connector and it helps companies to get important business information form their big data quickly and with ease. Fred Gallagher, general manger of Vectorwise stated
“We are talking about moving data at a rate of up to 3 Terabytes per hour onto a modest x86 server costing less than $15,000. That’s like downloading 20 movies in two minutes. Vectorwise 3.0 is now even faster, with a more efficient storage engine, supporting more data types and analytical SQL functions, and enhanced DDL features. It also has improved monitoring and profiling accessibility.”
Many companies rely highly on data to shape their business and Actian studied companies Hadoop usage to develop the innovative Vectorwise 3.0 analytics database. In the past Hadoop data stores were slow when it came to batch processing of analytics but the Vectorwise Hadoop Connector helps to alleviate this problem by delivering not only timely but also responsive multi-user querying and analytics processing. Industry users are already expressing their eagerness for the Hadoop Connector’s release in April 2013 and more importantly its positive impact on data analytics. As Hadoop integration and the benefits continue to make the news it looks like Hadoop’s got the data game down packed.
