Cloudifying Enterprise Data Analytics with VMware Tanzu Greenplum and Cloudian Object Storage

Enterprise data analytics architectures based on traditional data warehouse platforms–running on appliances and/or traditional storage infrastructure solutions–cannot keep up with the scale, speed, or efficiency required by dynamic enterprises. They can also get expensive very quickly. To gain a competitive advantage, customers are increasingly looking to the cloud model where data warehouse platforms connect directly to and analyze data sitting in an S3 data lake.

Modern Performant Applications Require Modern Storage

DISTRIBUTED S3 SELECT: USING SQL TO QUERY DATA IN AN S3 OBJECT

It’s common knowledge that the growth rate of created data is increasing and that there is a distinction between unstructured data like an image where the data is treated as a single entity or blob and structured data where the data is formatted such as CSV, JSON, or Parquet. What’s less well-known is that though there is more unstructured data currently, structured data is growing in volume and importance.
