SAP Sybase IQ 16 sets Guinness World Record with 34.3TB per hour for Big Data Loading!

SAP and its business partners, BMMsoft, HP and Red Hat, have generated a new world record for loading and indexing Big Data with SAP Sybase IQ 16, the latest version of SAP Sybase IQ, which implements a new, fully parallel data loading capability  and a next generation column store. The audited result of 34.3 TB/hour greatly surpasses the previous world record of 14 TB/hour, also achieved by the same team using a previous version of SAP Sybase IQ.

This new record also easily eclipses published data loading results by companies such as Oracle and EMC. It demonstrates the ability of this solution to efficiently handle extreme-scale EDWs and Big Data analytics by providing high speed data loading, indexing, immediate access and  deep analysis of both structured data (i.e. database records) and unstructured data such as emails, documents and multi-media files. SAP Sybase IQ makes it simpler and more cost-effective to exploit the value of massive amounts of data at the speed of business, helping to transform companies through new insights that were previously impossible or impractical.

Way to go team!
