Ingres VectorWise Customers and Partners Speak Out

For the last six months, participants of the Ingres VectorWise Database beta program have been able to realize performance gains of 10x to 70x over existing database and analytic servers while running sophisticated analytics on large to truly massive data volumes to the most fine-grained level.

They signed up to experience the power of the technology, explore a lower cost, and the opportunity to simplify the steps that are usually quite complex in getting a database up and running. These customers and partners come from all over the world and represent e-commerce, financial, retail, and telecom markets.

Datamatics experiences 70x performance gains

"We ported a business application from Oracle to Ingres VectorWise and were astounded by the substantial performance increases, wich were up to 70x" said Michael Thuleweit, managing director, Datamatics, a leading business intelligence solutions provider. "Our customers are also tired of paying for Big Software prices so we are always on the look-out for more cost effective solutions. With Ingres VectorWise Database, we get the best of both worlds; we can now offer our customers a lower cost and better performing analytic database."

dbConcert experiences drastic performance increases

"Ingres VectorWise performance has been outstanding and it was so easy to get up and running," said Steve Ferrando, CEO, dbConcert, a leading systems integrator to major Wall Street investment firms. "Position analysis was 10 to 50 times faster than the leading commercial database in our testing and with linear query performance from 12 mm - 1.2 billion financial records. These are drastic improvements in terms of speed."

Ingo Mierswa, CEO, Rapid-I

"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 descisions."

Rational Commerce slashes business engagement times by up to 50%

"The speed is blindingly fast right out of the box and it eliminates layers of work that had to be done in the past," said Roy Hann at Rational Commerce, a leading systems integrator. "Ingres VectorWise uses automated compression and indexing which eliminates the need to spend extra hours tuning an tweaking our data. This means we are now able to cut the time of our business intelligent engagements with our customers by up to 50%."

What an independent thought leader in database research had to say...

"Ingres VectorWise is a great example of cutting-edge research from highly respected researchers being converted into a product useful for a wide audience," said Daniel Abadi, director of DR@Y at Yale University, the research group known for the invention of HadoopDB and research in column-store database technology. "VectorWise achieves high performance using a bevy of clever technologies and has proven to be a terrific fit as database technology underpinning large-scale HadoopDB applications."

"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 secopnd, where the same query took several minutes on another database."

Warren S. Master, CTO, The Rohatyn Group

"For the past 20 years,I've been searching for the killer database that would fulfill our most intense data processing needs and with the discovery of Ingres VectorWise, that search is now over - this database is in a class of its own. Right out of the box, VectorWise lets us effortlessly plow through millions and millions of rows of data with infinitive width and depth and without the need for new expensive hardware, complicated schemas, explicit indexing, pre-aggregation, or specifically hand-crafted DBA-tuned SQL. The Ingres and VectorWise leaders and technologists have performed a miracle here."
