We continue our series on High performance Analytical DBs with a presentation from INGRES. Ingres' approach is quite different from AsterData's and ParAccel's (our previous 2 sessions within this series). Join us to learn more.

Presenters
Bill Maimone – CTO & SVP Eng. Ingres (former VP at Oracle) – will present a “deep dive” into the roots of the technology and specifically how the product accomplishes the huge performance gains it does.

Background on Ingres VectorWise

• Ingres VectorWise leverages modern chip technology as found in off-the-shelf servers to the max, taking advantage of advanced chip features like hyper-pipelining and vector processing
  
• Ingres Vectorwise is purely columnar. Standard SQL is the query method – no special purpose language
  
• Ingres VectorWise requires no special set-up – e.g. no custom indexing
  
• Ingres VectorWise is affordable as it runs on standard server hardware
  
• Ingres VectorWise’s key benefit is its outstanding PERFORMANCE. Customers report performance improvements in the range of 10-70X to what they were achieving with conventional methods. Quite remarkable.
