Vertica, An HP Company and leading provider of real-time analytics platforms, today announced the Vertica Community Edition, a free version of its Vertica Analytic Database software.
Scheduled for availability toward the end of the year, the Vertica Community Edition provides much of the functionality of the enterprise-level Vertica Analytics Platform, allowing a broader base of users to leverage Vertica software, especially for academic and research initiatives. In addition, Community Edition users will have access to a new Vertica Community portal that offers a variety of tools, tips and resources to assist diverse users with their data analysis needs, as well as a platform to showcase Vertica partners and their community contributions.
"I love the idea of a free Vertica edition," said Curt Monash, president of Monash Research and editor of DBMS2.com. "It should smooth the path for businesses and academics alike to experience faster and hopefully better analytics."
Vertica Community Edition software is based on the Vertica Analytics Platform, offering the simplicity, advanced analytics, automatic design and familiar interface of the enterprise edition. Community Edition users will be able to run on industry-standard hardware, virtual machines or the cloud and can seamlessly upgrade to the Enterprise Edition.
