HPE announces HPE Vertica 8

Hewlett Packard Enterprise has announced the next release of HPE Vertica, codenamed “Frontloader”. HPE Vertica 8 has introduced a unified architecture and advanced in-database analytics capabilities that enable users to conduct sophisticated analysis at scale and speed, regardless of where their data resides.

One of the biggest issues facing organizations today is extracting intelligence from data residing in multiple silos across the data center. HPE Vertica 8 provides organizations with a unique, analysis-in-place, unified architecture that enables businesses to continually gain intelligence from their information, wherever it lives. Organizations can use HPE Vertica 8’s flexible deployment options across on-premise, private, and public clouds, and in Hadoop data lakes, to adopt a best-fit solution that allows them to choose where and how they run analytics.

“Building on our Vertica mantra of delivering the broadest deployment and consumption models, and best-fit engineering, HPE Vertica 8 delivers an innovative platform that allows organizations to access and analyze the largest volumes and various forms of data, regardless of where the data is located. Integrated with broad in-database applied machine learning analytic capabilities and open-source innovation, Vertica 8 gives companies a competitive edge to solve problems faster and at lower costs,” said Saurabh Saxena, Country Director, Software, Hewlett Packard Enterprise India.

HPE Vertica 8 also includes core data movement and orchestration enhancements, resulting in up to 700-per cent faster data loading for hundreds of thousands of columns, simplified data loading from Amazon S3, and comprehensive visual monitoring of Apache Kafka data streams.

HPE Vertica with Azure support is immediately available via the Microsoft Azure Marketplace, giving organizations the flexibility and freedom to choose the right cloud platform for their needs. The new release includes dozens of critical core enhancements to increase system reliability under extreme concurrency levels, natively integrate with open-source innovations for analysis-in-place, and achieve enterprise-class performance and security.

HPE Vertica 8 “Frontloader” will be generally available during HPE’s fiscal Q4.
