DATAllegro, supplier of the premier price/performance data warehouse appliance, recently announced the release of DATAllegro IQR, an intelligent intermediary that automatically directs queries between DATAllegro data warehouse appliances. The product is priced at $45,000 per connected appliance.

DATAllegro IQR (Intelligent Query Router) can be purchased as an add-on to any of DATAllegro's data warehouse appliances. DATAllegro C25 is a high-capacity data warehouse appliance with a 25-terabyte capacity, while DATAllegro P3supports high-performance data warehouses of up to 3 terabytes.

There are a variety of uses for DATAllegro IQR. When used with both DATAllegro P3 and DATAllegro C25, DATAllegro IQR can be part of a multi-tier data warehouse that lets companies age their data gracefully. In this scenario, the most recent data would be stored on a DATAllegro P3 for ultra-fast query speeds. An entire copy of the data is stored on a DATAllegro C25 for queries against historical data. DATAllegro IQR works behind the scenes, intelligently routing the query to the appropriate appliance, without any changes to end user tools or applications. As a result, data warehouse users achieve optimal performance and capacity without added complexity.
