VMware Tanzu Greenplum Initial Setup

Jayanta Datta - PeerSpot reviewer
Executive Director at Morgan Stanley

The deployment is reasonably straightforward, it takes at least a month or two because of the hardware. There were around 10 people, primarily data engineers, involved in the implementation and it was all done in-house. Two people are responsible for maintenance, they are DBAs for tech backup.

The initial setup is kind of complex. You need an expert to set up a Greenplum cluster.

It may not be possible to simplify the initial setup because there's an out of the box configuration and you can use it. I've actually seen companies using it for years and it works, but it didn't work optimally so they were not happy with the results.

You can set up Greenplum but you really need to read the manual and the installation guide. I've seen people skipping it and then complaining.

The initial move was a bulk transfer from the old system to new Greenplum based solutions. It was all done by Greenplum contractors. But to get it working with other products was challenging.

The initial setup of this solution is not very simple. You need to properly follow the steps in terms of getting the whole architecture put together. We have a team of five people who are working on different aspects of the implementation.

Currently, we are focusing on the data layer. Next will be the ETL layer.

The initial setup was complex because of the architecture we used. Ten people are needed to maintain the product, of which eight are DBAs, and two support the operating system as the administrator.

I'm not a professional in the setup but setup of the environment itself was managed by us. We managed between development, testing, and production servers. We are able to maintain it. I don't think it is complicated.

Most of the issues can be solved without referring back to support. A very small minority of issues required support from the vendor.

It was complex as we have to code convert everything into GP functions so as to best be able to use the GP parallel. Pushdown feature was not available via Informatica. The initial parameter setup took quite some time to test to get the sweet spot for performance.

The initial setup of this solution was not simple, but it was not too complex, either. I would say that it was of medium complexity.

Our deployment took approximately two days, although this was only a partial deployment. We have yet to add another node.
