Eon on-premises storage

Vertica supports the following storage platforms for Vertica Eon Mode running on-premises.

Pure Storage FlashBlade

Vertica supports communal storage on Pure Storage FlashBlade version 3.0.0 and later. See Create an Eon Mode database on-premises with FlashBlade for more information.

Vertica does not support the use of Vertica Management Console or admintools to administer data located on Pure Storage hardware.

For information on configuring Pure Storage, refer to support.purestorage.com.

MinIO

Vertica supports communal storage on MinIO version 2018-12-27T18:33:08Z and later. See Create an Eon Mode database on-premises with MinIO for more information.

Caution

In Eon Mode, Vertica relies on the communal storage platform to manage data safety and integrity. For production use, always use MinIO in a distributed mode cluster. This mode provides high availability and data integrity protection. See the Distributed MinIO Quickstart Guide for instructions on configuring MinIO in distributed mode.

To ensure MinIO consistency guarantees, MinIO must be configured for read-after-write and list-after-write consistency. For details, see the MinIO documentation.

Vertica does not support the use of Vertica Management Console or admintools to administer data located on MinIO.

See the MinIO website for more information about MinIO.

HDFS

Vertica supports communal storage on HDFS when accessed through WebHDFS. See Create an Eon Mode database on-premises with HDFS for more information.

For HDFS, Vertica does not support the following:

The MapR distribution of HDFS, which is accessed through an NFS mount point and not through WebHDFS.
Using Vertica Management Console or admintools to administer data located on HDFS.
Cloudera (CDH) versions 5.x in Eon Mode.
The copycluster vbr backup and restore utility for communal storage on HDFS.

Other validated object storage

The preceding sections detail storage platforms and versions that Vertica engineering tests under specific performance and load thresholds. In addition to these storage platforms, the Vertica Partner Engineering team validates object storage platforms that meet strict performance requirements.
