technology while leveraging their existing investments in EMC storage infrastructure.
The mission of the EMC Data Warehouse/Business Intelligence Competency Center is to bring the engineering resources and expertise of industry leaders to work one-on-one with customers to
help them evaluate, plan and architect a solution that addresses their business challenges, said Chuck Hollis, EMC'ss Vice President, Global Marketing Chief Technology Officer. Through
our joint collaboration the two companies can offer customers an optimized data warehouse/business intelligence solution that leverages Greenplum Database and EMC networked storage

Greenplum Database'ss fundamental breakthrough is its ability to store and analyze terabytes to petabytes of data using clusters of commodity servers, storage and networking. Greenplum
Database moves processing power as close as possible to the data, so processing always occurs in parallel, delivering unmatched query and load performance. Greenplum Database makes it
easy to incrementally add storage capacity and processing power when needed, avoiding costly appliance upgrades. As a software-based solution, Greenplum Database is data center friendly,
supporting heterogeneous environments.
We have certified Greenplum Database on EMC'ss storage solution and have production customers using the combined solution, said Frank Bien, VP of Business Development of Greenplum. Our
ability to run Greenplum Database on existing SAN infrastructure makes our solution attractive for true enterprise deployments.
