Data Base Greenplum is a massive parallel processing (MPP) database server with an architecture specifically designed to manage large-scale analytic datastores and business intelligence workloads. MPP refers to systems with two or more processors that communicate to perform an operation, each processor having its own memory, operating system, and disks. Greenplum uses this high-performance system architecture to distribute the load to multi-terabyte data stores and can use all system resources in parallel to process the request.
Greenplum Data Base is based on open source PostgreSQL technology. These are essentially multiple instances of the PostgreSQL database that act together as one cohesive database management system (DMS). Greenplum (GP) is relational DBMSs with a massive parallel processing architecture (Shared Nothing)[1]
