Creating value for your customersINGRES VECTORWISE

"In an ever-changing climate of risk and fluctuating market conditions, having the right information to make the right decisions is the way to outperform the competition…When we asked respondents to rank the ways in which information brings business value, ‘improves access to high-quality information for better decision making’ is the top choice by far."

3 areas of innovation:

1. Vector processing takes full

advantage of the modern

microprocessor driving up

to 100 fold improvements

in performance.

2. Designed for on-chip cache

memory which is two orders

of magnitude faster than

using RAM.

3. Self optimizing, compressed

Column store means only the

data needed for the query is

streamed directly to the chip

cache. So this means fewer

disks which helps reduce

power and storage costs.

Study after study confirms the truth of this statement made by Accenture in their 2007 CIO Study. You know it, your customers know it, and they are putting more and more pressure on you to provide faster, easier to use analytics in your solutions.

The good news is that because analytics create real business value, customers are prepared to pay for new analytic capabilities. Whether it’s a new product module, a pay-per-use self-service query portal, or a powerful visualization tool, companies will pay for better quality information that drives better decisions.

But this isn’t news to you. You know that your customers want better analytics and that they will pay for these capabilities. Your problem is how to deliver. And how to deliver quickly. But your roadmap already extends 18 months out. Very few of your software developers understand how to develop on column store technology. Fewer still know how optimize for the latest hardware. You’ve got a problem.

Too Big, Too Small, Too RiskyTo try to solve this problem, you’ve probably looked at third party options many of which are built around high-priced hardware or have been developed by companies you’ve never heard of and may not be around in a couple of years.

Simple to Use – Ingres VectorWise is easy to set up and run, removes former data analysis obstacles and makes a rapid impact on business decisions. This reduces cost and risk thereby accelerating Business Intelligence (BI) project success.

Proven – The performance and simplicity of the technology has been proven by our customers and partners.This technology is supported by Ingres whose global support capabilities continue to be demonstrated by over 10,000customers running mission critical workloads around the world. Customers report that answers to complex business queries that previously took several minutes are now available in seconds for companies seeking to leverage faster database performance for an immediate impact to the bottom line.

What Our Partners Say – Partners report that the amount of time queries take to run can be cut in half. In fact, here’s what Advanced eCommerce Research Systems said “the more work we threw at Ingres VectorWise, the faster it is relative to other databases, it could do any query we tested in under one second where the same query took several minutes on another database.”

Fully Utilize Current Hardware – Ingres VectorWise can now efficiently exploit the 95% of modern chip capability that isn’t currently utilized by business software, rather than forcing chip customization or blindly throwing hardware at the problem.

Lower Overall TCO – As Ingres VectorWise enables better performance with less hardware; the outcome is more than 10x performance at a fraction of the hardware cost. And the simple self-tuning technology reduces the need for scarce specialist resources.

Improved Green Credentials – Ingres VectorWise delivers dramatically greater performance with small servers and radical reductions in disk storage which significantly reduces power and air conditioning requirements, and the carbon footprint.

REAL PARTNERSHIP, REAL BUSINESS RESULTS“Ingres VectorWise has been outstanding and it was so easy to get up and running,” said Steve Ferrando, CEO of dbConcert. And, to make sure that is the case, we’ve developed a QuickStart process to help new partners migrate or develop their application on the Ingres VectorWise platform. Our expertise, best-practices and tools help mitigate risk and get the job done quickly, creating a time-to-market advantage to you.

“We ported a business application from Oracle to Ingres VectorWise Database and were astounded by the substantial performance increases, which were up to 70x�. Our customers are also tired of paying for Big Software prices so we are always on the look-out for more cost effective solutions. With Ingres VectorWise Database, we get the best of both worlds; we can now offer our customers a lower cost and better performing analytic database.”
