Today more than ever speed, scale, and the value of information are extremely important to businesses.
In order to succeed, companies must extract value from massive amounts of data collected from a variety of different sources as quickly as possible. The challenge of managing, organizing, and analyzing business data often overwhelms even the most savvy technology professionals. What can speed up this process while allowing technologists to deliver insight to the business without having to spend months learning a complex technology or new coding language? The HP Vertica Analytics Platform allows organizations to quickly gain actionable insights from massive volumes of data in a much shorter time frame than almost any other software platform on the market today.
HP Vertica is an analytics system that was built specifically for Big Data challenges. HP Vertica simplifies analysis and exploration of massive amounts of data. You don’t have to make big changes or investments to use HP Vertica in your own environment. Vertica has the capability to analyze terabytes to petabytes of data and extract the information that matters by using the standard SQL language that is familiar to most business analysts.
You can still use your existing Data Integration and Business Intelligence tools, (i.e., Informatica, Tableau, MicroStrategy, etc.) to explore data and draw conclusions from information patterns across both your structured and semi-structured data. HP Vertica is useful in all types of industries, for example, to speed up insurance claims processing for the healthcare industry, fraud analytics for the banking industry, and real-time analysis of markets for the financial industry.
The latest release of HP Vertica has some extremely useful enhancements. One of these new features is Flex Zone. Often, it is more difficult to find patterns and explore big data from sources like social media, web logs and sensors; this type of big data is called “dark” or semi-structured data. Flex Zone simplifies loading, exploring, analyzing and monetizing these emerging and growing forms of semi-structured data.
Traditional analytic platforms and legacy databases require a time consuming process of building schemas and data definitions prior to loading data for exploration. HP Vertica’s Flex Zone takes away the burden of structuring schemas prior to ingesting and analyzing data, significantly speeding up the typically arduous process of turning data into information.
HP Vertica is the perfect tool for sorting through large amounts of machine-generated data. A perfect use-case example is when your company has a busy website and the marketing department would like to analyze the web server logs to find important information such as who visits the website, what they are looking at, and the exact point they lose interest and exit the website.
Another valuable use for Vertica is network security analysis and threat detection. Vertica can analyze vast amounts of network logs in near real-time to find out when and where your network is being attacked. When done manually this is like trying to find a needle in a haystack and takes tremendous amounts of time and effort. With the ability to simultaneously load and query data, Vertica can save time and money, by allowing security analysts to assess network vulnerabilities and prevent potential attacks as they occur.
