Service Overview

Vertica(DBaaS) is a high-availability enterprise database based on Data Warehouse for large-scale data analysis/processing. It is a data analysis platform that, through a single engine, can perform basic analyses such as queries on data coming from various sources without moving them, as well as AI analyses like machine learning. In Samsung Cloud Platform, DB management functions such as high‑availability configuration, backup/recovery, patching, parameter management, and monitoring are added to ensure stable management of single instances or critical data, enabling automation of tasks throughout the database lifecycle. Additionally, to prepare for issues with DB servers or data, it provides an automatic backup function at user‑specified times, supporting data recovery at the desired point in time.

Provided Features

Vertica (DBaaS) provides the following features.

• Auto Provisioning: Automatically installs the DB of the standard version of Samsung Cloud Platform based on Virtual Servers of various specifications.
• Cluster configuration: Provides its own high-availability architecture in a Masterless form.
• Operation Control Management: Provides a function to control the status of running servers. Servers can be started and stopped, and can be restarted if there is a problem with the DB or to apply configuration values.
• Backup and Recovery: Provides a data backup function based on its own backup commands. The backup retention period and backup start time can be set by the user, and additional charges apply based on backup size. It also provides a recovery function for backed-up data; when the user performs a recovery, a separate DB is created and recovery proceeds to the point selected by the user (backup save point, user-specified point). When recovering a Database, you can choose to install the Management Console for use.
• Service status query: You can view the final status of the current DB service.
• Monitoring: CPU, memory, DB performance monitoring information can be checked through the Cloud Monitoring service.
• High-performance processing of large-scale data: Guarantees stable performance in environments with massive parallel processing (MPP, Massively Parallel Processing) and SQL query Mixed Workload. Vertica processes queries through distributed processing and has a structure that allows queries to be started from any node, so there is no Single Point of Failure where queries would not be executed in case of a specific node failure.
