Vertica was co-founded in early 2005 by Michael Stonebraker and Andy Palmer. Mike and Andy were introduced by Jo Tango - then at Highland Capital, now at Kepha Partners. The inspiration for Vertica's foundation was the need for a new database engine which was designed from the ground up specifically for read-intensive workloads and to run on highly distributed, inexpensive, industry standard Linux hardware. Over the past 2 years, Vertica has focused on the development of the Vertica® Database and its implementation by early adopters. Throughout the development of the company, Vertica has consistently valued world-class engineering, business innovation and a culture of strong citizen-ownership.
