New EMC System To Handle Terabytes Of Data
Hopkinton-based EMC Corp. has released a new data warehouse system that uses technology from its recent acquisition of California-based Greenplum.
EMC announced plans to acquire Greenplum in July. Financial terms of the all-cash transaction were not released. At the time, EMC said Greenplum would form a new data computing product division within EMC's information infrastructure business.
The new system, called the EMC Greenplum Data Computing Appliance, is billed as being able to load 10 terabytes of data an hour. A terabyte is 1 trillion bytes.
The technology is supposed to help large companies "make sense of the massive amounts of data they generate from various sources," including the web, consumers, surveillance systems and sensors.
EMC's second-quarter profit was $426 million, a 108-percent increase over the same period last year.
