Deploy Vertica-as-a-Service, or manage the platform yourself
Vertica
Accelerator
Vertica as a SaaS offering that delivers a unified, high-performance advanced analytics and machine learning platform in your AWS cloud account.
Vertica Unified Analytics Platform
Customer-managed, advanced analytics and in-database machine learning platform that runs on-premises, in the clouds, and supports (Kubernetes (K8s).
Vertica is built for the scale and complexity of today’s data-driven world
Analyze All of Your Data
No longer move data or settle for siloed views. Access a single platform for data warehouse modernization and data lake exploration.
Achieve Scale and Performance
Fear of growing data volumes and users is a thing of the past. Your complex questions get responses quickly, while you scale data and users linearly.
Future-Proof Your Analytics
Data storage decisions made today won’t impact your ability to execute in the future. Evolve as requirements change or new technologies emerge.
Architected for Performance
Remove scale, performance, and capacity constraints with a platform architected from day one to handle the largest data volumes and most demanding workloads. Vertica delivers 10-50x faster performance or more compared to legacy systems.
What could you achieve with 50x faster analytics?
Massively Parallel Processing
Run queries in parallel across infrastructure and scale-out linearly for faster performance or more users
Columnar Storage
Increase query speed over traditional row-based storage systems by reading only the necessary data
Advanced Compression
Apply advanced compression algorithms to reduce disk space by up to 90% and improve performance by lowering costly I/O
Optimized Projections
Store data in format and structure optimized to improve performance on mostly frequently run analytics
Hybrid Cloud – Deployment Freedom
Vertica provides the flexibility of private and public cloud deployment – not just a proprietary cloud, but any cloud.
Our database seamlessly connects on-premises environments to public clouds for a hybrid data cloud experience. By implementing hybrid cloud, you can increase flexibility, performance, and scalability. It offers you a way to maintain complete control of your data while leveraging modern cloud technologies.
With Vertica deployed to a hybrid cloud, you can escape public cloud lock-in while leveraging new capabilities like separation of compute and storage. Vertica helps you create a strategy for more predictable pricing with our flexible deploy-anywhere license. It’s the best way to place workloads in the right place for price/performance and avoid single point of failure scenarios.
