with Exasol SaaS
Exasol is the high performance, in-memory massively parallel processing (MPP) database specifically designed for analytics. From business critical data applications to advanced analytics, Exasol allows you to quickly analyze large volumes of data, helping you to accelerate your BI and reporting and to turn data into value.
Exasol SaaS is a cloud-based database application built on top of the Exasol database architecture. Using Amazon S3 as a storage back-end, one database can support multiple compute clusters that all access the same data.
The architecture of Exasol SaaS separates the compute and storage resources, allowing you to scale them separately. This also makes it easy to apply both vertical scaling (changing instance types for more computing power) and horizontal scaling (adding clusters for increased concurrency and workloads).
