Ocient has come out of stealth and launched Ocient Hyperscale Data Warehouse (OHDW). This enables organizations to execute previously infeasible workloads in interactive time, the firm claimed. They can scale to analyze trillions of data points 10 to 50 times faster than existing offerings, returning results in seconds or minutes versus hours or days, it further claimed. Customers can also tackle CPU-intensive workloads with ease, including large-scale joins and full-table scans with extreme I/O performance. For example: “Because Ocient runs a massively parallel set of nodes with many NVMe drives in each node, the total random read throughput is 12 million 4KB random read IOPS per node,” the company said.
