Accurate and actionable analytics is the goal of every organization. In large enterprises with multiple business divisions, the CIO team often struggles with a wide and often uncontrolled set of analytics tools and repositories leading to multiple versions of the “truth”. When an Executive Leadership team is confronted with different recommendations from different departments based on different analytical outcomes, the ability to act decisively and correctly is very much hindered.
Business divisions need a quick and easy start and minimal administrative responsibilities for their unique analytical workloads. IT is often responsible for the “lifeblood” applications that support petabytes of data, hundreds of concurrent users, and complex queries that benefit from customized tuning. In addition, some workloads are good fits for public cloud deployments while others are deployed in private, on-premises data centers. Despite a huge number of vendors in the analytics market, virtually none of them can provide public cloud, on-premises, or hybrid deployment; in-house managed and fully managed analytics built on the same platform; and advanced analytics and in-database machine learning without additional costs.

With the announcement of Vertica Accelerator, those limitations and restrictions are gone.
