Use of compression in RainStor
The RainStor solution is uniquely capable of compressing massive amounts of data into a very small footprint that remains online and query-able.
Building on RainStor’s patented database technology and proven expertise managing complex Big Data environments, the new product combines industry-leading compression – up to 40x – along with 10-100x faster analytics by providing both SQL access and MapReduce. The compressed multi-structured data set running on HDFS delivers maximum efficiency and reduces the cluster size by 50 percent to 80 percent, which significantly lowers operating cost.
