Deep Analytics at Extreme Scale and Speed
The VMware Greenplum database allows organizations to utilize a rich and varied analytic toolset on a unified platform that utilizes both local as well as external data, all with a convenient SQL interface.
Analytics from BI to AI
Greenplum reduces data silos by providing a single, scale-out environment for converging your analytic and operational workloads, like streaming ingestion.
Open Source Innovation
VMware Greenplum is based on PostgreSQL and the Greenplum Database project. Instead of depending on expensive proprietary databases, users can benefit from the contributions of a vibrant community of developers.
Deploy Anywhere
Greenplum provides your enterprise with flexibility and choice. Deploy Greenplum on all major public and private cloud platforms, on-premises, and in sovereign clouds.
Enterprise Data Science
Tackle data science from experimentation to massive deployment with Apache MADlib, the open source library of in-cluster machine learning functions for the Postgres family of databases.
Features
Cloud-Agnostic for Flexible Deployment
Greenplum is available on leading public cloud marketplaces, in addition to VMware vSphere and OpenStack private clouds, with the same Greenplum version and tools across all clouds.
Value and Performance in an Appliance-Like Experience
Dell and VMware's joint Reference Architecture is the most performant way to run VMware Greenplum in an on-premises deployment. Users can also deploy Greenplum on HP- and Cisco-certified configurations and commodity hardware.
Analytics for Business and Artificial Intelligence
Use geospatial analytics based on open source PostGIS, and text analytics based on Apache Solr with Greenplum’s GPText. Extensive support for R and Python analytical libraries, as well as Keras and Tensorflow.
Handle Streaming Data and Cloud Data with Ease
Greenplum includes integration with the Kafka ecosystem, certified by Confluent. With improved low-latency writes, Greenplum provides fast event processing for streaming use cases.
Maximize Uptime and Protect Data Integrity
Greenplum has features for high availability, intelligent fault detection, fast online differential recovery, and full incremental backup and disaster recovery.
Industry-Leading Performance
With its unique, cost-based query optimizer designed for large-scale data workloads, Greenplum scales interactive and batch-mode analytics to large datasets in the petabytes without degrading query performance and throughput.
Based on Open Source Projects
All VMware Greenplum contributions are part of the Greenplum Database project and share the same database core, including the MPP architecture, analytical interfaces and security capabilities.
Massively Parallel, Highly Concurrent Architecture
Greenplum features a shared-nothing architecture that automates parallel processing of data and queries and petabyte-scale data ingestion.
Use Cases
Enterprise Analytics and AI
With support for advanced algorithms such as multi-layer perceptron and convolutional neural networks in Apache MADlib, users can begin to tackle cutting edge use cases in speech recognition, image recognition, machine translation, and computer vision. With optional support for REST APIs, you can train, test, and deploy in a single language (SQL), reducing the occurrence of errors when putting models into production at scale.
Flexible Deployment on Any Cloud
Move your analytics workloads to the platform of your choice under the terms and in the timeframe you choose. Deploy on private, sovereign, or public clouds (like AWS, Microsoft Azure, or Google Cloud Platform) or on-premises with GBB. Have the freedom to select the best platform for each project and workload based on ease of use, performance, and total cost of ownership (TCO).
Enterprise Data Warehouse Modernization
Replatform legacy enterprise data warehouses (EDWs) to replace expensive, proprietary databases. Modernize with the only open source-based, multi-cloud platform for analytics offering the full range of data warehouse functionality that your enterprise demands. Gain the power of an MPP system in conjunction with proven technology to reduce the cost and complexity of application migration.
Architecture
Whatever use case we can dream up and whatever ways we can think of to better understand the user, Greenplum allows us to do it.
