Enterprises deploy SQL Server-based data warehouses to gain insights into historical data and report on important business metrics. As enterprises strive to reduce time to insight and actions, real time analytics and reporting are becoming a necessity, and existing data infrastructures that are based on distributed batch analytics are too slow and inefficient. A high-performance SQL Server data warehouse that can address hundreds of terabytes of data is a critical business tool to access all active data.

“With the increasing importance of data-driven business decisions and the explosion in the scale and types of data collected,” says Zahid Hussain, CEO, Vexata, “There is an ever growing need for enterprises to focus on active data analytics. Our technology partnership with Supermicro helps us build in greater performance capabilities into our arrays that we can showcase with reference solutions using Supermicro servers.“

With the company’s arrays incorporating Xeon Scalable processors and SSDs, along with Supermicro X11 SuperServer solutions, enterprises can derive greater performance, scalability and security out of their data platforms. The firm works with Supermicro to provide solution reference designs for Oracle, SQL Server, Kx and GPFS that deliver an orders of magnitude performance improvement over similar reference designs from other all-flash array (vendors.

“Supermicro’s SuperServer combined with Vexata’s data management layer provides a solution for data warehouse users,” said Michael McNerney, VP, software solutions and infrastructure, Supermicro. “The Vexata solution which achieved over 35GB/s of mixed R/W bandwidth provides a significant market advantage.“
