Licensing > Priced According to Your Individual Needs
The Vertica Analytic Database is licensed based on the amount of data stored in the database, not on the database hardware and software configuration. Deploy Vertica on any number or type of servers/CPUs to optimize performance and high availability—without affecting the license cost.

The Vertica Analytic Database software can be downloaded and run on the Linux server of your choice, or you can buy it as a pre-configured Vertica analytic appliance running on HP BladeSystem hardware and the Red Hat Enterprise Linux operating system.


Enterprise Edition

Not just scalable database performance, scalable pricing to fit business models of all kinds

The Vertica Analytic Database can be used to manage databases ranging from 100s of Gigabytes to 100s of Terabytes, and it is as easy to license as it is easy to use.
  • License Vertica based on the volume of data you store—manage your licensed volume of data on as many or as few CPUs as you'd like and change the configuration over time without additional license cost.
  • Special licensing for independent software vendors (ISVs) and software as a service (SaaS) providers—our interest is in giving you a competitive edge and maintaining a long-term, mutually beneficial relationship
