Intel® today announced their 4th generation Xeon® processor, codenamed “Sapphire Rapids.” A powerful and diverse compute engine with more built-in accelerators than any other CPU in the market. Intel® Xeon® Scalable processors with built-in accelerators boost performance and efficiency without the need for additional CPU cores or dedicated hardware.

As a gold status partner in Intel’s Disruptor Program since mid-last year, Yellowbrick had early access to Intel’s platform. This partnership provides Yellowbrick with early access to Intel hardware and software so we can optimize performance and accelerate our time-to-market. This enables us to optimize our cloud data warehouse, deliver a high-performant cloud data warehouse on the latest Intel platform, and empower organizations to accelerate the time-to-insight and support thousands of users across petabyte-scale datasets.

Yellowbrick Direct Data Accelerator® Only Gets Better with Sapphire Rapids

Yellowbrick delivers everything you expect from a modern, elastic, cloud, SQL-based data warehouse. It combines the SaaS cloud simplicity with the performance accelerated by Intel® Xeon® processors perfected through the years of delivering the highest ROI to customers on-prem.

Powered by our Direct Data Accelerator® technology, the Yellowbrick cloud data warehouse can support thousands of concurrent users and queries across petabyte-scale datasets with fast query responses. Direct Data Accelerator® technology is optimized to leverage the Intel hardware acceleration capabilities, such as Direct IO and DPDK, to accelerate the data loading from external cloud object storage and process data-intensive queries faster. With Sapphire Rapids, we are further accelerating the performance of our data warehouse product, such as leveraging the In-memory Analytics Accelerator (IAA).
