DDN and HP Vertica Analytics Accelerates Big Data Queries

DataDirect
Networks
Inc.
announced that their SFA big data storage platform, paired with the
Vertica
Analytics
Platform
from HP was able to process complex queries against a one trillion
row database in less than 20 seconds during US public sector
laboratory tests.

The results also proved the query
speed scales linearly, demonstrating that it could be scaled to
produce sub second queries and maintain the same speeds for larger
databases.

"In
data-intensive processing and analytic environments, DDN technology
is the de facto standard for organizations operating at massive
scale, enabling customers around the world to extract rapid insights
from extremely large data sets,"
said Jeff Denworth, VP of Marketing, DDN. "This
benchmark is a remarkable validation of the million lines of software
we’ve perfected for data ingest, processing and delivery –
reinforcing DDN leadership in accelerating analytic runtimes of the
most demanding Big Data applications."

The DDN SFA10K-X, configured to
optimize the customer application with SSD and HDDs, was recognized
for its ability to provide faster time to actionable information from
datasets compiled from hundreds or thousands of sensors, social media
channels and other data collection sources.

This
solution also exceeded requirements for data ingest speed, solution
scalability, query speed, system flexibility,and management.
