What analyst or marketer hasn't at some stage been
frustrated by the excruciatingly slow data crunching speeds of flat Excel files or standard transactional row based databases such as MySQL when trying to analyse large sets of data? Some of you might have been able to afford professional data warehouse solutions and the necessary hardware to increase performance but the majority probably not.
Well, the arrival of open source
column based data warehouse solutions is going to change all that and
make professional high speed data mining affordable for small to medium size businesses. All analysts and marketers are now able to build enterprise grade data warehousing platforms in order to
develop single customer views or to create powerful business intelligence platforms.
Check out the articles and graphs below to find out more about column based databases in general, how they work and how much faster they are compared to even enterprise grade systems on high performance hardware.
