"The Vertica Database provides us with a solution for cost-effectively storing large market data time series and trade repositories, and for quickly performing and processing complex analyses of the data.”
—Justo Ruiz-Ferrer, Head of Trading Strategy Systems, BlueCrest Capital Management LP
“Vertica gives us the performance we need in a very flexible, lean-and-mean database management system. We looked at numerous other vendors of data-warehouse solutions, and none offered this compelling combination of grunt power, efficiency and flexibility. In addition to dramatically improving both data compression and query performance, the Vertica Database simplifies database infrastructure, implementation and execution. It was the obvious choice for us.”
—Dr. John Costella, data manager, Portland House Research Group

Financial Services - Stock Trade History Benchmark
Notes: This benchmark was run by a global investment firm. They proved that replacing their existing row-oriented OLTP DBMS with Vertica would improve query performance dramatically. Vertica's compression and built-in active data redundancy help eliminate nearly $1 million dollars annually in storage costs. Furthermore, Vertica's transaction architecture allows concurrent "trickle loading" and querying of data, which enables more real-time views of market data.
