Yellowbrick Data
Yellowbrick Data is a US-based database company delivering massively parallel processing (MPP) data warehouse and SQL analytics products. The company is headquartered in Mountain View, California. History. Yellowbrick Data was founded in 2014 by Neil Carson, Jim Dawson, and Mark Brinicombe to bring to market a flash storage data warehouse product. Yellowbrick’s first product used hardware consisting of analytic blades with both NVMe flash storage and CPUs, with the blades connected by an internal network. The system includes a purpose built execution engine with a primary column store, built in compression, as well as erasure encoding  for reliability. The Yellowbrick Data Warehouse supports ANSI SQL and ACID reliability by using a Postgres based front-end, supporting any database driver or external connector. The all-flash architecture claims performance and predictability benefits compared to other data warehouses. In 2019, Yellowbrick announced two products – the Yellowbrick Cloud Data Warehouse, and Yellowbrick Cloud DR. The Cloud Data Warehouse is a service offering, using its own hardware available to applications running in AWS, Azure, and GCP public clouds through dedicated network links. This product allows the same speed and reliability advantages as the Data Warehouse, and complements the on-premises  product. Cloud DR allows replication of on-premises datasets to the cloud service, or between cloud services at multiple physical locations.
