Actian Analytics Database –Vector (hereafter Vector) is a next generation database management system from the Actian family of database products.

Vector is targeted at analytical database applications—applications that need to process large volumes of data and perform complex operations on it to derive useful information. Typical examples include data warehousing, data mining, and reporting.

Vector is optimized to work with both memory- and disk-resident datasets, allowing it to efficiently process large amounts of data (hundreds of gigabytes).
