When users query large databases, it's not just the storage servers that feel the crunch; the system also screams for more CPU (central processing unit) power. But when doubling system power increases performance by only 20-40 percent, the server reaches a point of diminishing returns, or as some call it, a 'data warehouse capability gap'.
When startup DATAllegro tabled the prospect of an appliance that addresses the price-performance gap of expensive data warehousing equipment, investors jumped at it. Today, the company has attracted over US$20 million in funding from venture capitalists.
Datallegro created a new way of distributing data across servers and running queries in parallel, marking a radical shift in data warehousing architecture. Taking standard, commodity servers and open-source database as wrappers around its patent pending architecture, the company is able to deliver "significantly better price performance than any other data warehouse appliance", says Stuart Frost, company CEO and founder.
"A traditional data warehouse costs around US$1 million per terabyte. We are priced at less than US$20,000 per terabyte," says Frost, who targets Oracle customers with up to 300 concurrent users and databases from 1 terabyte to 5 terabyte.
The IT head of a financial services firm in the US that is beta-testing a DATAllegro system is reportedly cautious about buying from a small vendor, but "if they can deliver the same or better performance at 20 percent of the cost of an IBM or Teradata solution, then you have to do it".
The startup competes with newcomers Netezza and Calpont in challenging established data warehouse vendors and breaking traditional price barriers associated with high-end data warehousing.
In October, DATAllegro opened its first overseas office in the UK. The firm is "not actively" targeting Asia although it has seen a lot of interest from the region, claims Frost. He was the founder and CEO of Nasdaq-listed data modelling company Select Software Tools prior to starting DATAllegro.
