Greenplum Overview
Greenplum is a relational database catering to data warehouses. It has distinguished advantages in data storage, concurrency, availability, linear expansion, response speed, usability, and cost-effectiveness due to a solid architecture. As a distributed database based on PostgreSQL, Greenplum uses the shared-nothing architecture, which allows the hosts, operating systems, memory, and storage to be self-controlled and do not share resources.
Greenplum is a relational database cluster, a logical database composed by multiple independent database services. Different from the Real Application Cluster (RAC), the Greenplum cluster employs the Massively Parallel Processing (MPP) architecture.
