Imagine business analytics at the speed of thought…

“We are overwhelmed by the

performance gains we have seen

from Ingres VectorWise Database.

The creation of prediction models

was even faster than for in-

memory calculation. And we are

achieving all of this performance

without any restriction on our

data set size or without the need

to load the data into a client at

all. Ingres VectorWise Database

removes former data analysis

obstacles and makes a rapid

impact on business decisions.”

Ingo MIeRswa, Ceo, RAPID-I

Today’s business software hasn’t kept pace with the explosive growth of data or the powerful capabilities of modern chips. This means that the software you rely on is often unable to analyze data on the scale you need to make the best decisions possible. As a result, many critical business decisions are made based on inadequate or summarized data sets because today’s software can’t provide the analysis and insights you need when you need them.

Ingres VectorWise represents a step-change in database technology. By unlocking the capabilities of the modern chip, our customers and partners report 10X – 75X+ performance benefits for analytic workloads. Those queries which currently take you minutes can be cut to seconds. The answers you’ve been told are too expensive to compute can be delivered using simple servers.

Crucially, there is no need for prohibitive hardware outlays – we have replicated the performance of a complex server rack on a simple inexpensive server. Ingres VectorWise can be powering your business in four easy steps: Install, load data, create statistics and start running queries. This skips over complex time-consuming steps that you would normally expect to take hours, even days.

have performed

a miracle…

If you have terabytes of data, complex analysis, and no manpower to tune and maintain a large installation, Ingres VectorWise is your simple solution.

BenefitsIngres VectorWise

Significantly Increased Performance Our clients report 10X – 75X+ performance at a fraction of the hardware cost compared with the results of other market-leading DBMS products.

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 10,000 customers 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 analytical or BI projects take, can be cut in half.

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.

Is Ingres VectorWise right for my organization?

Ingres VectorWise is perfect for analyzing large volumes of data such as web clicks, stock ticks and call records. If you or your organization often analyze huge amounts of historical data with ad hoc or complex queries and your performance or business depends on the speed or accuracy or frequency of turnaround; then Ingres VectorWise is worth investigation.

Use cases can be found in most industries including but not limited to:

• Webanalyticsandcross-sellinganalysis foreCommerce

• RiskorassetmanagementcomplianceandfrauddetectionforFinancialServicesorganizations

• CalldatarecordanalysisandcustomerretentioninTelcos

• ViewingfigureanalysisinTelevisionandMedia

• CustomerloyaltyanalysisinRetail

How does it achieve its groundbreaking speed?There are three main 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.

This ground-breaking product,

Ingres VectorWise, is a combination

of the Ingres database and

technology from VectorWise,

a spin-out from the renowned

CWI institute in Amsterdam.

“The more work we

throw at Ingres

VectorWise, the faster

it is relative to other

databases. Ingres

VectorWise could do

any query we tested in

under one second,

where the same query

took several minutes

on another database.”

…we get the best of both worlds: lower TCO & better performance…

As an ISV, what does Ingres VectorWise mean to my organization?

Hundreds of ISV organizations around the world are already taking advantage of the Ingres Partnership Plus Program, specifically designed to support the ISV community within the context of today’s technology landscape. Part of our pledge to our partner community is the constant investment in technology that cuts TCO and maximizes ISV revenue.
