Vertica has announced the release of its new unified software-as-a-service (SaaS) offering, Vertica Accelerator. The service runs on AWS and delivers high-performance and scalable analytics as well as end-to-end, in-database machine learning to organizations that require the right level of resourcing, management, and control for each analytical use case, all built on the new Vertica 11 Unified Analytics Platform.
“In a race to become more data-driven, companies are adopting cloud-based managed services to run their analytics, but they are shocked by the lack of control and skyrocketing bills. Vertica Accelerator delivers the fastest analytics as a service to organizations with complete control – customers leverage their own negotiated pricing with AWS and get to determine their performance levels based on their needs while also leveraging Vertica’s built-in auto-scaling to avoid bill shock,” says Colin Mahony, GM and SVP of Vertica, Micro Focus.
William McKnight, President, McKnight Consulting Group, said, ”Vertica Accelerator runs in a customer-provisioned cloud account, so that all data and compute resources are on your cloud account. Vertica experts can directly communicate with your database, providing tuning, monitoring, and upgrades. And you keep control over data and can fully apply a security and compliance model”.
