Yellowbrick Announces New Features and Entry-Level Service Plan

Release 5 Extends Leadership in Price/Performance, Availability, and Security

PALO ALTO, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Hybrid cloud data warehouse company Yellowbrick Data today announced significant product innovations for optimizing enterprise performance, availability, and security and debuted a new entry-level offering that provides the power of Yellowbrick to enterprise customers with smaller-scale use cases.

“Data warehouses are becoming absolutely business-critical,” said Neil Carson, CEO of Yellowbrick Data. “Release 5 strengthens our product for demanding fault-tolerant applications, and our new Standard Service Plan extends the power of Yellowbrick to smaller use cases than before. Businesses of all sizes know that real-time data and analytics power their competitive edge. We’re committed to their success.”

Yellowbrick Data Release 5

Yellowbrick Data Release 5 delivers new capabilities that further strengthen Yellowbrick’s position as the leader in price/performance, including:

• More investments in business-critical reliability and performance. Customers already depend on Yellowbrick’s Advanced Workload Management to help enable speed-of-thought insights 24x7x365. Release 5 adds rapidly self-healing clusters for fault tolerance. In addition, query visibility in Release 5 is more granular, giving users subsecond control of a query across its lifetime.
• Finer-grained security. An updated security model now allows customers to fully protect their data warehouse with finer-grained security, limiting the number of super users.
• Faster query building with SQL functions. Developers can be more productive and save time building queries with new support for SQL user-defined functions.

"Next-generation, enhanced Release 5 Workload Management features promise further performance and control in an already strong ‘big data’ warehousing and analytics platform,” said Steve Emmerich, chief architect at ACI Worldwide, a Yellowbrick customer that powers digital payments for more than 6,000 organizations around the world. More than 1,000 of the largest financial institutions and intermediaries, as well as thousands of global merchants, rely on ACI to execute $14 trillion each day in payments and securities.

“We’re seeing a renaissance in analytical database products that can power next-generation data warehouses and data marts, but not all players address the need for hybrid- and multi-cloud deployment,” said Doug Henschen, vice president and principal analyst at Constellation Research. “Deployment flexibility remains very much in demand, and it’s a wish that goes hand in hand with the desire for fine-grained control over cost and performance.”

Standard Service Plan

Yellowbrick Standard Service Plan offers the price/performance and hybrid cloud flexibility of the Yellowbrick Data Warehouse for smaller-scale use cases, including new data warehouse initiatives, dev/test environments, departmental data marts, and Microsoft SQL Server or Oracle upgrades.

The plan is priced at $10,000 per month. For a limited time period, this offering is available as a free 30-day trial.
