VMware Tanzu Greenplum Benefits

Jayanta Datta - PeerSpot reviewer
Executive Director at Morgan Stanley

Tanzu has cut our expenses because it doesn't use expensive hardware. We can store huge amounts of data in a single place and query that data quickly if regulators want to see older data. Carrying out large-scale analytics on a cheaper platform and getting it within 30 seconds is not easy. Tanzu helps us to achieve that.

It works very well with large database queries. It works efficiently even in cases where you have a query worth terabytes of data.

Greenplum is a high powered, multi-node database that was chosen for its capacity to ingest and query data at extremely high rates of speed, enabling in Database Analytics and Statistical output on granular levels of data that was otherwise inaccessible before its deployment. We were able to analyze and produce output on large volumes of data very quickly which saved us lots of time (we used to wait for hours to get the same output). The management was able to get insights very quickly so that they can make informed decisions.

For complex queries, which would normally take a long time, and for reporting, it is very efficient. It doesn't take a long time for the execution of any report for the end-user.

Senior Director & Global Lead, Big Data Center of Excellence at a pharma/biotech company with 10,001+ employees

Before we implemented Greenplum, our weekly data loads (for third party marketing data sets) were taking over three days. (We also had some monthly data that could take up to 3 days to load and transform via Informatica.) After we implemented Greenplum, the loads were reduced to less than nine hours. Previously, we were receiving data early Wed a.m. and not getting out to the salesforce (if we were lucky) until noon on the following Monday. Now we get the data to the field early Friday mornings before they wake up.

The previous data warehouse was built in Oracle. One of the things which has improved in GreenPlum is that we can query millions of rows at speed, without creating lags. We’ve also built far more views; slowly changing dimensions can instantaneously update without creating the issue of having to rebuild tables to reflect new hierarchies, for example.

Batch processing times have dramatically decreased from over 12 hours to under three hours. Much of this is converting off of Informatica and using distributed processing. Reporting performance also improved greatly.
