Data warehouses in the hundreds of terabytes and even petabytes are becoming more common. It’s happening in your enterprise…Your growing stores of data have tremendous value – as long as the people who need the data can quickly and easily analyze it. And, chances are, the list of people with claims on your data is growing.

What’s the impact on IT? Multi-terabyte data warehouses (typically costing $350K to $1M per terabyte) must now be accessible enterprise wide – from top-level management to front-line employees. The challenge is making the data available in the most cost-effective and open manner possible.

This led us to Greenplum, an emerging industry leader in high-performance database software for business intelligence. Greenplum has partnered with Sun to create the Greenplum Data Warehouse Appliance – the industry’s first cost-effective, high-performance super-capacity data warehouse appliance. Purpose-built for high-performance, large-scale data warehousing, it integrates best-in-class database, server, and storage components into one easy-to-use, plug-and-play system.

Delivering on the promise of enterprise-wide BI/performance management the Sun/Greenplum Data Warehouse Appliance addresses your evolving – and growing – demands for BI and corporate performance management, offering important benefits unmatched by other data warehouse solutions:
