Evaluating Vertica

Post by piglet » Tue Feb 07, 2012 4:19 pm

Hi,

I work for a small company and have been asked to investigate the Vertica database to see if it can help us as we build a new data warehouse. Can anyone share via their experience why they think Vertica would be a "stand out" database solution. Obviously price is one major advantage! I've read all the marketing material but would like to hear from someone that is using it.

Thank you,
Beth

PS. Yes, I like Piglet.

Hi Piglet,

I love the your login name here at vertica-forums.com! I am sorry that no one has replied to your post. I was hoping we'd get the community together a bit more by now so that users can help me respond to these great topics. But I'm sure we'll get there!

Anyway, I can let you know that we are very happy with Vertica. The performance is unbelievable at times and the data compression ratio we have is incredible.

I'll keep you posted as we tune our database and let you and others know what we discover!
