SGI's Adaptive Data Warehouse

I had a great meeting today with Don Whitehead Director of Marketing and Tim Butchart VP - Worldwide Data Management & Storage Sales for SGI. SGI and Oracle have teamed up by introducing a scalable Oracle Optimized Warehouse. The new offering consists of a 1.25 TB building block that scales to 5TB and takes advantage of Oracle Enterprise Linux (OEL). The pre-configured and pre-built SGI® Adaptive Data Warehouse Solution integrates Oracle Database software, SGI® Altix® servers and SGI® Infinite Storage systems.

SGI is partnering with open source leader Pentaho as well as Vero Insight to broaden the solution with reporting and data mining feature sets. SGI is finding growth opportunities within large and small companies and presently has a dozen projects that are over a petabyte in size. The niche for them is in the area of helping companies grow existing data warehouse installations that are growing rapidly and supporting heavy analytic job loads.
