Simplifying Cloud Data Warehousing and Helping Organizations Solve Their Biggest Analytics Challenges: Yellowbrick Data

Cloud-based technology has revolutionized the business world, allowing companies to easily retrieve and store valuable data about their customers, products and employees. This data is used to inform important business decisions. Many global corporations have turned to data warehousing to organize data that streams in from corporate branches and operations centers around the world. It’s essential for IT students to understand how data warehousing helps businesses remain competitive in a quickly evolving global marketplace. Data warehousing improves the speed and efficiency of accessing different data sets and makes it easier for corporate decision-makers to derive insights that will guide the business and marketing strategies that set them apart from their competitors.

Yellowbrick Data is the world’s fastest data warehouse for hybrid and multi-cloud environments. Enterprises rely on Yellowbrick to power critical business outcomes and get answers to the hardest business questions for improved profitability, better customer loyalty, and faster innovation in near real time,  and at a fraction of the cost of alternatives. It offers superior price/performance for thousands of concurrent users on petabytes of data, along with the unique ability to run analytic workloads on-premises, in a private cloud, and/or in any public cloud and manage them in a simple, consistent way—all with predictable pricing via annual subscription. The company has re-engineered the core software kernel of MPP analytic databases to make Yellowbrick Data Warehouse do more computation with less CPU, store more data far more efficiently, and move data across networks faster than anything else available. The result is adaptive database architecture that blows the doors off rivals for batch, real-time, interactive, and mixed workloads in any environment across distributed clouds, whether based on Kubernetes, virtual machines, or bare metal.

Revolutionary Data Warehousing Solutions Delivered

Cloud Data Warehousing: Yellowbrick offers the elasticity and user experience that Snowflake and other cloud-native data warehouses have, along with the reliability, control, deployment options, and excellent price/performance they don’t. Yellowbrick Data Warehouse is a modern, MPP analytic database designed for the most demanding batch, real-time, interactive, and mixed workloads. They continuously implement the latest advances in software (e.g., Kubernetes) and hardware (e.g., NVMe) protocols, combine these advances with smart thinking about database architecture, and add on top a standards-based interface that’s familiar to users (PostgreSQL) for ecosystem compatibility. The result is a modern, quickly provisioned, and easy-to-use solution that blows the doors off rivals in price/performance economics, and that can be deployed anywhere across distributed clouds (private, public, and edge networks).

Disaster Recovery as a Service: Building business continuity strategies is hard and expensive, especially for big databases. Yellowbrick’s Cloud Disaster Recovery (DR) service relieves both kinds of pain by automatically and asynchronously creating up-to-date copies of Data Warehouses in the cloud, at a more affordable cost than legacy approaches. It offers best-of-breed solutions for BI/data visualization, security, data motion, and consulting and integration, complementing Yellowbrick Data Warehouse’s industry-leading speed and flexibility. The company has experience serving customers in highly-regulated industries and government going back to its founding, so data and environment security are core values. Yellowbrick delivers native peak performance and lets you focus on running your business rather than managing a data warehouse. While other complex solutions can take a long time to learn, your team won’t need special skills with them: they are standards-based and integrate with the most common industry tools. Yellowbrick costs a fraction of options like Snowflake and BigQuery (and don’t get them started on Teradata), while offering transparent, predictable pricing to prevent surprises.
