1 Imagine business analytics at the speed of thought

2 We are overwhelmed by the performance gains we have seen from Ingres VectorWise Database. The creation of prediction models was even faster than for inmemory 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 decisions. Ingo Mierswa, CEO, Rapid-I

3 What is Ingres VectorWise? Today s business software hasn t kept pace with the explosive growth of data or the powerful capabilities of modern chips. This means that the software you rely on is often unable to analyze data on the scale you need to make the best decisions possible. As a result, many critical business decisions are made based on inadequate or summarized data sets because today s software can t provide the analysis and insights you need when you need them. Ingres VectorWise represents a step-change in database technology. By unlocking the capabilities of the modern chip, our customers and partners report 10X 75X+ performance benefits for analytic workloads. Those queries which currently take you minutes can be cut to seconds. The answers you ve been told are too expensive to compute can be delivered using simple servers. Crucially, there is no need for prohibitive hardware outlays we have replicated the performance of a complex server rack on a simple inexpensive server. Ingres VectorWise can be powering your business in four easy steps: Install, load data, create statistics and start running queries. This skips over complex time-consuming steps that you would normally expect to take hours, even days.

4 Ingres VectorWise Benefits the Ingres and VectorWise technologists have performed a miracle If you have terabytes of data, complex analysis, and no manpower to tune and maintain a large installation, Ingres VectorWise is your simple solution. Significantly Increased Performance Our clients report 10X 75X+ performance at a fraction of the hardware cost compared with the results of other market-leading DBMS products. Simple to Use Ingres VectorWise is easy to set up and run, removes former data analysis obstacles and makes a rapid impact on business decisions. This reduces cost and risk thereby accelerating Business Intelligence (BI) project success. Proven The performance and simplicity of the technology has been proven by our customers and partners. This technology is supported by Ingres whose global support capabilities continue to be demonstrated by over 10,000 customers running mission critical workloads around the world. Customers report that answers to complex business queries that previously took several minutes are now available in seconds for companies seeking to leverage faster database performance for an immediate impact to the bottom line. What our Partners say Partners report that the amount of time analytical or BI projects take, can be cut in half. Fully Utilize Current Hardware Ingres VectorWise can now efficiently exploit the 95% of modern chip capability that isn t currently utilized by business software, rather than forcing chip customization or blindly throwing hardware at the problem. Lower Overall TCO As Ingres VectorWise enables better performance with less hardware; the outcome is more than 10x performance at a fraction of the hardware cost. And the simple self-tuning technology reduces the need for scarce specialist resources. Improved Green Credentials Ingres VectorWise delivers dramatically greater performance with small servers and radical reductions in disk storage which significantly reduces power and air conditioning requirements, and the carbon footprint.

5 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 second, where the same query took several minutes on another database. Dan Sanders, Engineer, Advanced Ecommerce Research Systems How does it achieve its groundbreaking speed? There are three main areas of innovation: 1. Vector processing takes full advantage of the modern microprocessor driving up to 100 fold improvements in performance. 2. Designed for on-chip cache memory which is two orders of magnitude faster than using RAM. 3. Self optimizing, compressed Column store means only the data needed for the query is streamed directly to the chip cache. So this means fewer disks which helps reduce power and storage costs. This ground-breaking product, Ingres VectorWise, is a combination of the Ingres database and technology from VectorWise, a spin-out from the renowned CWI institute in Amsterdam. Is Ingres VectorWise right for my organization? Ingres VectorWise is perfect for analyzing large volumes of data such as web clicks, stock ticks and call records. If you or your organization often analyze huge amounts of historical data with ad hoc or complex queries and your performance or business depends on the speed or accuracy or frequency of turnaround; then Ingres VectorWise is worth investigation. Use cases can be found in most industries including but not limited to: Web analytics and cross-selling analysis for ecommerce Risk or asset management compliance and fraud detection for Financial Services organizations Call data record analysis and customer retention in Telcos Viewing figure analysis in Television and Media Customer loyalty analysis in Retail
