Greenplum MPP

A lecture will be conducted by GREENPLUM staff on it's benefits and capabilities followed by a question and answers session.

The Greenplum Database is based on the open source database PostgreSQL. It utilizes a shared-nothing MPP architecture that has been designed from the ground up for BI and analytical processing using commodity hardware. In this architecture, data is partitioned across multiple segment servers, and each segment owns and manages a distinct portion of the overall data. All communication is via a network interconnect; there is no disk-level sharing or contention to be concerned with.
