Hybrid
cloud data warehouse company
Yellowbrick Data today announced a strategic partnership
with analytics software and services leader SAS to develop a customer-driven
product roadmap and build integrated solutions for data analytics. The
Yellowbrick/SAS partnership will enable customers to leverage their investment
in SAS technology while benefiting from Yellowbrick's modern hybrid cloud data
warehouse, which offers unparalleled price/performance and scale, unique
flexibility to run workloads in a data center and/or major public cloud, and
predictable pricing-bringing deeper, richer insights and more agility to their
organizations.
The
collaboration seeks to provide enterprise customers with faster, more detailed
business insights from their data. Its intent is to integrate products and
leverage their combined strengths with minimal disruption to existing data
environments. Organizations will be able to deploy the joint solutions that
ultimately result from this partnership across most hybrid cloud computing
environments, including on-premises and public cloud platforms.
"As the
leader in analytics, SAS supports some of the world's largest IT
organizations," said Allen Holmes, vice president of business development at
Yellowbrick Data. "Our partnership means that users will enjoy the best of both
worlds-the reliability and features of SAS along with the high performance and
implementation flexibility that Yellowbrick delivers. This is a win-win
collaboration for enterprises."
"We're
pleased to be partnering with Yellowbrick to deliver a hybrid data warehouse
option to enterprises," said Jeff Bailey, advisory product manager for SAS.
"Yellowbrick delivers extreme performance and unique analytics capabilities
that complement the SAS solution, resulting in greater overall capabilities for
our joint customers. We're excited about the value that Yellowbrick brings to
the SAS community."
The SAS
partnership is part of Yellowbrick's ongoing strategy to build the most
complete and robust partner ecosystem in the data warehousing industry.
Customers can confidently deploy Yellowbrick knowing that they can leverage
their existing database infrastructure and employee skill sets associated with
premier vendors such as SAS. The combination of Yellowbrick's hybrid cloud
technology and complementary solutions like SAS can help enterprises improve
data analytics capabilities, achieve faster time-to-insights, facilitate more
effective business decision-making, and innovate and thrive in the competitive
global marketplace.
