The ParAccel Analytic Database™ (PADB) is a new-generation relational database management system that combines leading-edge innovations with best practices to deliver the fastest, simplest, most cost-effective platform for analytic processing.
Enterprises today use commonly accepted data warehouse tuning techniques such as specialized physical schemas, aggregation tables, indexes and materialized views that inflate data volumes and cause extra administration effort to manage the resulting data redundancy and tuning structures. In contrast, PADB is designed to deliver the highest performance while alleviating that complexity. The core ParAccel design philosophy is to provide an advanced analytic DBMS that delivers the highest possible performance and takes best advantage of the investment protection and raw computing power of industry-standard hardware.
In customer environments, ParAccel continues to outperform all other so-called high performance analytic platforms. In addition to honing the efficient utilization of I/O, CPU and inter-node communication, each PADB feature is individually optimized for performance. At the highest level, PADB is architected as a columnar, compressed, massively parallel relational database management system that is capable of all-in-memory processing, if desired.
