Actian Corporation today announced that it is teaming with Lenovo to deliver the powerful Vectorwise Data Mart Appliance, a pre-configured software and hardware solution designed to break the cost and technical constraints of competing data analysis products. By matching smart software with high-performance, budget-minded hardware, Actian's relationship with Lenovo is a collaboration of world-class platforms that simplifies the implementation of Big Data projects and speeds the delivery of data analysis and business insight.

Engineered to accelerate Big Data project implementations on an enterprise-scale data warehousing solution, the Vectorwise Data Mart Appliance offers:

Fast Deployment: The pre-configured appliance can be in production within minutes of being racked, ensuring fast deployment and the shortest time to get action-oriented insight into the hands of business users.
Compatibility: Compliant with industry standards for SQL, JDBC, ODBC, and .NET support, the Vectorwise Data Mart Appliance operates seamlessly alongside legacy platforms.
Manageability: Based on industry standard components, the appliance is simple to install and manage using resources and skills readily available in your organization. With built-in web-enabled remote management, the ThinkServer RD240 will easily integrate into existing management infrastructures.
Energy Efficiency: The ThinkServer RD240's energy-efficient features and Vectorwise's Energy Efficiency records make this Data Mart Appliance an ideal solution for customers seeking green alternatives
Interoperability: The Vectorwise analytic database is certified with commonly-used Business Intelligence tools including IBM Cognos, MicroStrategy, Pentaho, SAP BusinessObjects, Tableau and Yellowfin.

"The convergence of highly-efficient platforms not only helps companies quickly uncover deep insights from their data, but the affordability of the Vectorwise Data Mart Appliance enables companies of all sizes to realize the value of business intelligence."
