ParAccel Analytic Database

The ParAccel Analytic Database is designed for speed, scalability and simplicity.

Speed: Breakthrough performance

The ParAccel Analytic Database is a robust, relational and fully-transactional DBMS (ACID). It uses breakthrough innovations to achieve blazing performance for BI. Its impressive speed is built-in so manual tuning structures like indexes, materialized views and summary tables are not necessary (along with their required maintenance). Plus, its performance is versatile and not dependent on a star schema design. Our schema-neutral approach lets you also unleash the power of ParAccel for BI workloads on normalized and de-normalized data. Performance features include:

• Columnar data storage
• High-performance loads and updates
• Shared-nothing, MPP
• Adaptive compression
• Cost-based query optimizer
• In-memory capable

Scalability: Add capacity as needed

Scalability gives you investment protection. ParAccel's shared-nothing, massively parallel architecture delivers linear scalability in small increments.

• Linear scalability gives predictable gains in capacity and concurrency
• Node-at-a-time expansion (or more) fits easily into budget cycles
• Data automatically rebalances as nodes are added

Simplicity: Easy to install and operate

ParAccel's load-and-go design makes setup easy, so you can quickly solve performance problems and move on to other tasks. Manageability features help you simplify ongoing operations to deliver business gains without the usual IT pain.

• Appliance design for quick installation
• Simple setup and management with point-and-click interface
• Standard interface support (e.g., ODBC, SQL92)
• Automatic synchronization with few-second latency AMIGO
• Automatic query routing for a virtualized mixed-query environment
• Built-in high availability with dynamic load rebalancing and automatic failover
• Self-reporting capacity management statistics
• Runs on standard hardware to support your operational requirements

Investment Protection: No forklift required

In the optional AMIGO implementation mode, ParAccel can accelerate one or more existing data warehouses, data marts or analytic applications with scalable performance. AMIGO quickly adds new analytic query capability to existing operational systems or gives power users the benefit of true ad hoc query.

• Dynamic existing databases using native synchronization features
• Supports SQL language extensions used by existing applications
• Extends existing analytic capacity without a rip-and-replace activity
