Analyticsand data warehousing environments are growing by leaps and bounds — andoften in unpredictable directions. Sometimes you need to add storage,sometimes computing power, and sometimes you need to increase thenumber of users accessing the system.
Sybase IQ multiplex is a highly scalable shared disk grid technologythat allows concurrent data loads and queries via independent dataprocessing nodes connected to a shared data source.
With the Sybase IQ Multiplex Grid Option, you can start with oneserver and add CPUs and memory as needed. You can add servers and CPUswith little or no loss in scalability, plus you can add terabytes ofdisk to the SAN, independent of adding server hardware, with nosignificant performance degradation. Sybase IQ multiplex supportsmultiple users per CPU. With the Multiplex Grid Option, you can addmore flexibility and power to your environment by dynamicallyspecifying read and write nodes.
