Overview

Greenplum is pioneering the use of open source databases for enterprise-class Business Intelligence and Data Warehousing. Greenplum’s family of database products, called Bizgres, comprises solutions suited to installations ranging from departmental data marts to multi-terabyte data warehouses.

While Business Intelligence has become a top priority for IT, the database infrastructure on which BI systems are built has not evolved much over the past 20 years. However, the amount of data companies now need to analyze has continued to skyrocket. This expansion is fueled in part by accelerated growth in Internet-based services, wireless communications, and regulatory legislation.

Greenplum is defining a new standard in the Business Intelligence industry by providing high-performance, low cost data warehousing solutions that utilize open source software and leverage the power of commodity, off-the-shelf hardware. Greenplum’s breakthrough products are poised to revolutionize the way enterprises use Business Intelligence to gain key competitive advantages in the marketplace.

Formed in 2003 with the merger of Metapa and Didera, Greenplum is led by pioneers in open source, database systems, data warehousing, supercomputing, and Internet performance acceleration. With technical staff from companies such as Oracle, Sybase, Informix, Teradata, Netezza, Tandem, and Sun, Greenplum is redefining the standards of enterprise-scale Business Intelligence.
