ParAccel vs. Velocity

[Actian Matrix is well suited for:] 1. Power user who wants to derive aggregate metrics by joining huge dataset. 2. Batch load where you have to load billion of records very fast (copy command). 3. Scenario where you want to do ELT because your ETL tool cannot handle huge volume of data.

Actian Matrix is our first big data analytics storage platform, and as I was not involved in the POC process to compare it to other products out on the market, unfortunately I cannot say if it is better than other Big Data storage options. I can say that it out performs products such as Oracle or UDB in regards to the volume of data it can easily index and handle.

• ROI is great, less spending on full time DBA and that money could be use to add additional node.
• Negative - Not many developers are well aware of this tool, it takes some time to learn.
