EMC Greenplum Data Computing Appliance

Business data growth rates have been increasing exponentially in recent years and will continue to do so for the foreseeable future. "Big data," as it is termed, has become a big challenge as organizations look to revamp their infrastructures and processes to scale to accommodate steep growth rates without the equivalent cost curve. With that in mind, ESG Lab validated the real-world performance and functional capabilities of the EMC Greenplum Data Computing Appliance (DCA). Testing was designed to assess the ease of use, performance, scalability, and analytics-readiness of the DCA platform running an extremely large data set using a real-world retail data model.
