Vertica Extends Manageability and Ease-of-Use for the Vertica Analytics Platform

New Release Offers the Vertica Management Console for Intuitive, Graphical Management and Enhances Usability and Integration with the Big Data Ecosystem

LAS VEGAS, Feb. 14, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- TDWI World Conference - Vertica, an HP Company and leading provider of real-time analytics platforms, today announced Vertica 5.1, the latest version of the Vertica Analytics Platform, which offers improvements in the areas of usability, management and integration with the big data ecosystem.

The Vertica Analytics Platform is built from the ground up to handle extreme data, with several customers analyzing more than a Petabyte of data in real time. Available immediately, Vertica 5.1 features a new graphical management console, and extends the platform in the areas of usability and manageability.  In addition, Vertica 5.1 includes a revamped client framework that makes it easier to integrate with third-party BI, ETL, analytics, and other ecosystem solutions and offers superior performance.

"With the new Vertica Management Console, managing and monitoring a Vertica data warehouse installation has never been easier," said Colin Mahony, Vice President of Products and Business Development at Vertica. "The Vertica Management Console has a 'cool' look and feel and the process of creating a new Vertica cluster, adding nodes, dropping databases, and keeping track of system performance is now as simple as dragging and dropping icons and watching a system health dashboard."

As part of the 5.1 release, Vertica is delivering a host of new features to the analytic marketplace:

    --  Vertica Management Console -- with version 5.1, Vertica introduces a new
        integrated solution for monitoring and managing Vertica deployments.
        The Vertica Management Console is an enterprise-class, graphical
        management tool that provides an intuitive, unified view of even very
        large Vertica clusters at a glance and allows configuration and
        monitoring of Vertica databases from a single point of control.
    --  New Client Framework -- Vertica introduces a new client framework with
        broad platform support and ODBC and JDBC drivers that have been
        completely rewritten and optimized for big data analytics use-cases. The
        new implementation greatly improves the drivers' quality, standards
        compliance, compatibility with third-party tools, performance, and
        platform support.
    --  Ecosystem Integration -- as part of a new integration framework, Vertica
        5.1 offers improved integration with the broader big data ecosystem.
        This includes Hadoop distributions based on Apache Commons Release
        1.0.0, including Hortonworks Data Platform v1.  In addition, Vertica's
        Informatica Plugin has been updated with several quality and performance
        improvements.
    --  Integrated with Autonomy IDOL 10 -- Vertica 5.1 is an important
        component of Autonomy IDOL 10, a groundbreaking information platform
        that delivers real-time contextual understanding of structured and
        unstructured data. IDOL 10 provides a single processing layer that
        enables organizations to extract meaning and act on all forms of
        information, including audio, video, social media, email, and web
        content, as well as structured data such as customer transaction logs
        and machine-based sensor data.
"Vertica has always been focused on the user experience, and Vertica 5.1 offers the tools to make managing and monitoring a Vertica installation a snap so users can focus on monetizing all of their data," said Scott Howser, Vice President of Marketing at Vertica.  "The work we've done in streamlining our client framework allows our customers to integrate quickly and easily with their existing analytics environment."
