EMC Introduces Breakthrough 'Big Data' Computing System
New EMC Greenplum Data Computing Appliance Delivers Industry's Fastest Data Loading and Performance
HOPKINTON, Mass., Oct. 13 /PRNewswire/ -- EMC Corporation (NYSE: EMC) today introduced the new EMC® Greenplum® Data Computing Appliance, an integrated data warehouse system using the breakthrough Greenplum massively parallel processing (MPP) architecture. It enables organizations to more efficiently make sense of the massive amounts of data they generate from various sources such as always-on networks, the Web, consumers, surveillance systems and sensors. With twice the data loading speed of its nearest competitor and the industry's best performance, the EMC Greenplum Data Computing Appliance enables more data to be analyzed faster and at lower costs.

The new system was developed and is shipping just 75 days following EMC's acquisition of Greenplum and comes at a time when IDC predicts that the amount of data over the next decade will grow 44-fold. The disruptive data warehousing technology from Greenplum is a key enabler of "big data" clouds and self-service analytics, allowing organizations to store, manage and closely analyze terabytes of detailed data for faster business insight, conclusions and revelations. Greenplum is the foundation of EMC's new Data Computing Products Division, which is developing the analytic tools to address the "big data" phenomenon.
Highlights:
-- The new EMC Greenplum Data Computing Appliance is built using Greenplum
Database 4.0. Its innovative, parallel-everything architecture delivers
data loading performance of 10 terabytes (TB) an hour, twice as fast as
Oracle Exadata systems and five times as fast as systems from Netezza
and Teradata.
-- As a purpose-built, parallel system, the EMC Greenplum Data Computing
Appliance offers up to 3x more scalability and up to 4x as many database
cores than competitive systems for the industry's best price/performance
ratio. It integrates database, compute, storage and network into an
enterprise class, easy-to-implement system and is available in flexible
half-rack, full-rack, and multiple-rack appliance configurations for
terabyte to petabyte-scale requirements. It is integrated with EMC's
replication, backup and recovery and deduplication technologies for
information protection.
-- Greenplum Database 4.0 is also shipping and available as a licensed
software-only solution for deployment on industry standard x86 hardware
and integrated infrastructure solutions such as the Virtual Computing
Environment (VCE) coalition Vblock Infrastructure Packages. The free
Greenplum Database Single-Node Edition is available for download.
Greenplum Database 4.0 is regarded as the industry's most scalable,
mission-critical analytical database and is in use at more than 100
leading enterprises worldwide.
-- EMC also today announced consulting, professional services, support and
training for data warehousing and business analytics. EMC Global
Services professionals will help customers deploy and optimize the new
EMC Greenplum Data Computing Appliance and use extensive "big data"
expertise to design an environment for complex correlation across
massive data sets. In addition, EMC will help customers migrate and
consolidate from their Oracle, Teradata and other existing database
systems onto the EMC Greenplum Data Computing Appliance.
-- The EMC Data Computing Products Division is empowering organizations of
all sizes to better evaluate, analyze and utilize the "big data" they
generate by developing solutions that move processing power closer to
the data and the end-user data analysts and data scientists.
