Redefining MPP
As part of the overall SAP delegation to the event, we’re making quite a splash this week at the TDWI World Conference in Orlando. It’s a major announcement– one that we’ve been looking forward to making for some time:
Sybase IQ 15.3 Customers Benefit From Extreme Query Performance With PlexQ Distributed Query Platform
ORLANDO, Fla., Nov 09, 2010 (BUSINESS WIRE) — Sybase, Inc., an SAP(R) an industry leader in enterprise and mobile software, today announced the release of Sybase IQ 15.3 to beta customers. Sybase IQ 15.3 introduces the PlexQ(TM) Distributed Query Platform, a Massively Parallel Processing (MPP) architecture that accelerates highly complex queries by distributing work to many computers in a grid configuration. Unlike shared-nothing MPP architectures, PlexQ utilizes a shared-everything approach that dynamically manages and balances query workloads across all the compute nodes in a Sybase IQ MPP configuration. The PlexQ’s automatic workload re-balancer aggressively works to avoid contention among users for system resources, thereby providing predictable high performance for a spectrum of concurrent workloads.
What we’re talking about here is MPP done right. Leveraging the Sybase IQ column-based arhcitecture, the PlexQ Distributed Query platform tops standard shared-nothing MPP architectures by providing better concurrency, enabling higher-performing self-service ad-hoc queries, and supporting independent scale-out of compute and storage resources. Extreme performance and architectural flexibility have always been key parts of the Sybase IQ story. As you’ll see in the weeks and months to come, that story is about to become a lot more interesting.
Meanwhile, if you happen to be attending TDWI this week, be sure and stop by the SAP Booth (#300) and look for Sybase Analytics co-blogger Kevin Leong. Kevin is on hand to tell you all about how Sybase IQ is redefining MPP.
