The next edition of the HP Discover Performance Podcast Series highlights how Infinity Insurance Companies in Birmingham, Alabama has been deploying a new data architecture -- native column store databases -- to improve productivity for their analysis and business intelligence (BI) queries.

To learn more about how Infinity has improved their performance and their results for their business analytics, BriefingsDirect interviewed Barry Ralston, Assistant Vice President for Data Management at Infinity Insurance Companies. The discussion, which took place at the recent HP Discover 2013 Conference in Las Vegas, is moderated by Dana Gardner, Principal Analyst at Interarbor Solutions.

Among other findings, Ralston and his team has seen a 100 times improvement in their top 12 worst-performing queries or longest-running queries when moving from a row-store-based Oracle Exadata implementation to a column store-based HP Vertica deployment.
