Here’s Why You should Join Vertica’s Big Data Analytics Community

Whether you’re a data scientist wanting to fine-tune SQL analytic queries and explore machine learning, or a novice who just wants to get your feet wet in the big data space, Vertica Community Edition (CE) is a great place to start. You can work with up to 1 terabyte of stored data, and up to 3 compute and storage nodes. For teams just getting started, this can serve as much more than just a proof-of-concept – it can actually accelerate your big data journey.

Vertica Community Edition also gives you installation and configuration guidance. You have access to the Vertica User Forum, where you can find fast answers to many common questions for new users. Or you can ask just about anything, and receive a response out of the deep well of Vertica customer knowledge. As with any software community, Vertica users love to share their tips and tricks. You’ll also find a thoughtful vanguard of big data analytics enthusiasts, happy to consider your big data issues, and share with you the stories of their own trials and successes.

What the Vertica community has built with their many different installations is truly amazing. They’ve based their systems on unique infrastructures, consisting of public clouds, on-premises resources, Hadoop data lakes, and everything in between. Many of our customers began their journey by trying out the Community Edition. In fact since 2016, we’ve seen nearly 20,000 CE downloads.

We know you have a number of big data analytics solutions to consider in today’s marketplace, and of course we want you to try Vertica. Here’s one thing to consider: Some popular big data platforms offer a cloud-only solution, meaning that on-premises resources get factored out of the analytics infrastructure. For some small-to-medium businesses, that may be ok today. But why prohibit your business from growing into domains that require some or all of your data to reside on-prem? Or why restrict your big data operations to the cloud alone, if you already have hybrid cloud resources you want to include in your big data footprint?

It’s easy to join the Vertica big data community, and put the power of ground-breaking speed and scale to work on your big data challenges.
