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 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 – actian 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 actian 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 – actian 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.
