Red Brick Systems Inc has accelerated availability of its Warehouse VPT client-server database for IBM Corp’s parallel processing computer, the SP2. The company says the parallel database product will enable customers to manage system resources better and be more flexible when adding new users. To maintain scalable performance of large data warehouses in multi-user environments, Red Brick Warehouse VPT will automatically invoke unique connect balancing across unlimited SP2 nodes and will offer scalable query throughput as additional users access the data warehouse. The database administrator can perform routine operational data warehouse functions from a single control node, to ease administration demands, says Red Brick. The warehouse can be partitioned with nodes assigned to service specific applications. It’s ready this quarter.
