ElasticDW™️ — The Missing Managed Service for Vertica
Full 360 announces the limited availability of ElasticDW™️, a managed service for Vertica in AWS.
ElasticDW enables data analytics with even fewer limits by letting you spin up a fully managed multi-node cluster in a few minutes. These clusters can be automatically configured, deployed, scaled and backed up.
With ElasticDW, multi-node clusters can be created, destroyed, revised and retained easily via a web application, command line interface or via Terraform.
Unlike other solutions, ElasticDW allows you to manage the environments and clusters within your own Amazon account and environment. You can also take advantage of a white glove managed service plan, including remote DBA support with Full 360 to augment your internal resourcing and tooling.
With ElasticDW, which supports EON and Enterprise modes, you can create Vertica environments and clusters from version 8 to the latest version 10.
With ElasticDW, power users can take full advantage of the EON mode scale up and scale down option with ease.
This is undiluted Vertica, as-a-service.
The ElasticDW platform is built from the ground up for the public cloud by the experts at Full 360, under a fully endorsed partnership with Vertica.
