Instead of grossly over-provisioning dedicated servers, IT can now deploy new, pre-configured virtualized Vertica analytic data marts on any available data center hardware in a matter of minutes, and eliminate the weeks of lead time required to procure dedicated hardware and manually configure the solution. In addition, the Vertica Analytic Database automatically benefits from VMware Application vServices -- including high availability and dynamic scalability -- to automatically ensure the quality of service required by the business. DETAILS: Agenda: -- How virtualization can transform the economics of data warehousing and BI -- VMware Infrastructure Overview -- key capabilities to consolidate infrastructure, accelerate application delivery, and maximize QoS -- Vertica Virtualized Analytic Database -- how it works -- Customer Case Study: virtualized marketing analytic data management at MarketBridge -- QA WHEN: Wednesday, March 18, 2009 from 2:00-3:00 p.m. ET
