Vertica Systems is a new software startup in the Andover, Massachusetts area commercializing a very fast, highly scalable data warehouse solution called C-Store. C-Store is a database managing system based on a column-oriented database management system. C-store is different from other relational database management system designs in that it stores data by column and not by row, and that is not optimized for writing. Founders include Mike Stonebraker who is widely recognized as one of the world's foremost experts in database technology. Stan Zdonik, Ph.D., a Professor of Computer Science at Brown University, is an advisor for Vertica Systems.
