NYSE Euronext to Manage Exponential Data Growth with Greenplum

Greenplum (http://www.greenplum.com/), a leading provider of database software for the next generation of data warehousing and analytics, today announced that NYSE Euronext (http://www.nyse.com/) has selected Greenplum Database (http://www.greenplum.com/products/greenplum-database/) to quickly process the high volumes of data produced by the NYSE Euronext exchanges on a daily basis. NYSE Euronext will be using Greenplum technology to enable strategic reporting and other business intelligence applications.

NYSE Euronext operates the world'ss leading and most liquid exchange group. The organization is one of the largest data producers in the financial marketplace, with data volumes growing as much as 200 percent per year. After tremendous data volume growth created data warehouse performance issues, NYSE Euronext began evaluating alternative solutions that could deliver a high level of performance while supporting its escalating data volumes.

NYSE Euronext selected Greenplum to support its critical data-driven applications. Greenplum Database is a high-performance, massively parallel database built for large-scale data environments. Greenplum will provide NYSE Euronext with linear scalability and the ability to easily add data warehouse capacity in small or large increments, avoiding costly appliance or server upgrades. Greenplum is built on low-cost commodity hardware, making it possible to grow compute and storage capacity efficiently.

Greenplum'ss fast performance and scalability is a critical factor for us, as we currently load about one terabyte a day into the database and expect to be loading two terabytes a day going into 2009, said Steve Hirsch, Chief Data Officer, NYSE Euronext. Greenplum will allow us to process massive volumes of data fast enough that the critical applications using this data can complete their functions.

Data volumes generated by the financial world are growing at an exponential rate, and one of the primary differentiators for Greenplum was our ability to deliver a solution that met NYSE Euronext'ss needs today and in the future. We are confident that the solution we'sve developed for NYSE Euronext will scale as the organization contends with ever-expanding data volumes, said Bill Cook, CEO of Greenplum.
