Start with license per 1TB. Starting from hundreds of TB there is unlimited licensing to be considered. Move historical data to HDFS/S3 which are significantly cheaper or even free. Vertica is delivering more and more features to support load/unload for external storages. View full review »

Nothing to advise really; try it out first, it's free up to three nodes and 1TB, and then get in contact with their sales guys. View full review »

The first TB is free and you can use all the Vertica features. After 1TB you have to pay for licensing. The product is worth it, but be aware of this condition, and plan. The compression ratio is explained in the documentation. View full review »
