Enterprise Mode

A database mode that optimizes your database for analytic speed. This is the "original" mode of the Vertica database—the only mode it supported before Eon Mode was introduced. In this mode, data is stored by the database nodes. This proximity allows nodes to operate on locally stored data for most queries, reducing query times. An Enterprise Mode database is harder to scale up and down than an Eon Mode database, which is optimized for scalability.
