Vertica is a new SQL database that provides the fastest, most cost-effective way to manage Resource Description Framework (RDF) data for Semantic Web applications.
The vision for the Semantic Web is to create a universal medium for data, information and knowledge exchange. The goal of the RDF, the data model behind the semantic web vision, is to enable integration and sharing of data across different applications and organizations. Efficiently managing RDF/semantic web data is an important factor in realizing the semantic web vision. Performance and scalability issues created by traditional database management systems are increasingly important as semantic web technology is applied to real-world applications. In a 50 million triple library data benchmark, queries that used to take thousands of seconds on a native triple store, and hundreds of seconds on a schema that includes multiple property tables, are executed in less than a minute with the Vertica Analytic Database. Those that have benchmarked it have found that the Vertica Analytic Database:
