Vertica Systems (www.vertica.com) has developed a new grid-enabled, column-oriented DBMS that runs on Linux. The Vertica Database provides extremely fast ad hoc query performance, even for large databases (very many terabytes), making it well suited for data warehousing, data marts, clickstream analysis, fraud detection, call detail analysis, consumer customer analytics, business intelligence and other query-intensive applications. Vertica’s product was originally inspired by the C-Store column-oriented database technology developed as an open source project at MIT and other universities.

Vertica was founded in 2005 by database research and technology pioneer Dr. Michael Stonebraker; and Andrew Palmer, a business executive with experience in both software and biotechnology.
