Vector achieves extreme performance with full ACID compliance on Hadoop.
With Vector, you get more from your Hadoop investment.
Three Ways Vector Accelerates Hadoop Analytics
Scale-out Hadoop SQL performance
Dramatically improve performance by 100X with Actian Vector technology – enables extensibility of the world’s fastest database to accelerate SQL performance in Hadoop clusters. Workloads of standard benchmark queries that typically take over two hours with traditional SQL solutions on Hadoop finish in less than a minute running on Vector.
Zero-penalty, real-time data updates
Organizations no longer have to give up consistency for performance. Unlike traditional Hadoop analytics solutions, Vector for Hadoop can process real-time data updates without any associated performance penalty, ensuring that an organization’s analytic insight is always current, using the freshest data available.
Native Spark powered direct query access
Through its innovative native Spark support Vector delivers optimized access to Hadoop data file formats including Parquet and ORC, the ability to perform functions like SQL joins across different table types and serve as a faster query execution engine for SparkSQL and Spark R applications.
