Micro Focus, which recently acquired Hewlett Packard Enterprise's software unit, launched Vertica 9, a big data platform with new algorithms, models, data preparation and workflow tools.
Vertica was among HPE's better-known software products. Micro Focus is making Vertica 9 available on Google Marketplace and enhanced Microsoft Azure integration.

Meanwhile, Micro Focus launched a beta of Vertica in Eon Mode, which evaluates compute and storage separation for Amazon Web Services. The combination makes Vertica analytics more available to AWS S3 users.

- Increased query performance and native integration with Microsoft PowerBI, Cloudera Manager and Apache Spark 2.1.
- In-database machine learning for categorization and better processing speed.
- Improvements to management of historical data.
