Sybase IQ is a highly optimized analytics server, able to handle the most challenging data warehousing requirements with ease—improving query times by as much as 100 times. Organizations with very large data warehouses benefit from the significant reduction in hardware and energy costs due to Sybase IQ’s compression capability. In a recent independent benchmark on a world’s record one petabyte of raw data, Sybase IQ compressed data 85 percent resulting in a ‘green’ data environment with 90 percent less CO2 emissions over the data warehouse’s life time. Designed from the start as an analytics server, Sybase IQ produces its incredible results because of a unique architecture combining a column-based data structure with patented indexing and a scalable grid. Compatible with standard hardware platforms and leading analytics applications, Sybase IQ offers extraordinarily high performance at a lower cost than a traditional row-oriented database. Sybase IQ also reduces storage and server requirements compared to traditional database management systems. Sybase IQ has been tested on trillions of rows of data and is the TPC-H price-performance record holder in the 1 terabyte and 300 gigabyte categories.
