Service Overview

Vertica(DBaaS) is a high-availability enterprise database built on a Data Warehouse for large-scale data analysis and processing. Through a single engine, it serves as a data analytics platform that can perform basic analyses such as querying data from various sources without moving them, as well as AI analyses like machine learning. In the 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, it provides an automatic backup feature at user‑specified times to support data recovery at the desired point in case of DB server or data issues.

Users can set the backup retention period and start time, and additional fees apply based on backup size. It also offers a recovery feature for backed‑up data; when a user initiates recovery, a separate database is created and restored to the point selected by the user (backup creation time or a custom point). For database recovery, you can choose to install the Management Console for use.
