Greenplum Data Computing Appliance
(DCA)
Greenplum Data Computing Appliance (DCA) is a purpose-built, highly scalable par-
allel data warehousing appliance. The DCA:
• Brings the processing power of MPP architecture
• Delivers fastest data loading capacity
• Provides flexible and linearly scalable infrastructure to support growing busi-
ness needs
There are two flavors of expandable rack configuration provided by DCA:
• Greenplum Database Standard Module
• Greenplum Database High Capacity Module provides increased storage with
no increase in footprint
The appliance approach is beneficial as it eases implementation with overall lower
total cost of ownership, ensures scalability, high availability, and fault tolerance.
DCA UAP surpasses the previous release with more CPU cores, more RAM, more
spindles per rack. Hardware specific details are:
• Master, DIA, and HD compute servers are constructed on the E5-2660 CPU,
64 GB RAM, and 6 x 300 GB 10K SAS drives
• GPDB compute servers are constructed with the same processor and amount
of RAM as the masters, DIA, and HD compute servers, but include 24 x 300
GB 10K SAS drives
• GPDB standard servers use the same processor and memory configuration,
but with 24 x 900 GB 10K SAS drives
