VectorWise creates ground-breaking database technology, based on vectorized and column-wise data processing that can handle more data faster and cheaper.

VectorWise is the result of cutting-edge database research performed at CWI, the national research center for mathematics and computer science in the Netherlands. It is the first-ever database engine that succeeds in unleashing the performance potential of modern computers and offers a highly efficient solution that is superior to previous technology. As a result, VectorWise allows users to process much larger amounts of data using less hardware, handling your database workloads at much lower cost.

VectorWise brings affordable data management to the entire world through an exclusive cooperation with a seasoned database software company, Ingres Corp. The Ingres VectorWise project works on integrating VectorWise technology with the familiar Ingres interfaces and management tools.
