Amazon Web Services announced the general availability of AQUA for Amazon Redshift, an innovative new distributed and hardware-accelerated cache that delivers up to ten times better query performance than other enterprise cloud data warehouses.

AQUA brings compute to the storage layer, helping customers avoid networking bandwidth limitations by eliminating unnecessary data movement between where data is stored and compute clusters.

Last year, AWS announced the general availability of Amazon Redshift RA3 instances, which allow customers to scale compute and storage separately and deliver up to 3x better price performance than any other cloud data warehouse.

AQUA for Amazon Redshift is a distributed and hardware-accelerated cache for Amazon Redshift; an innovation that improves performance for analytics at the new scale of data.

"Existing data warehouse architectures with centralized storage require that data be moved to compute clusters for processing, which creates a bottleneck and slows down performance," said Rahul Pathak, VP, Analytics, AWS. "By bringing compute to the storage layer, AQUA helps customers eliminate unnecessary data movement to avoid these networking bandwidth limitations, delivering up to an order-of-magnitude query performance improvement over other enterprise cloud data warehouses - and this game-changing leap in performance is available to Amazon Redshift users at no additional cost."

"We use Amazon Redshift to build analytics applications for our customers that join data from multiple sources and empower users across the business, from data analysts to line-of-business leaders," said A. K. Radhakrishnan, North America Data & AI AWS Lead, Accenture.
