AQUA (Advanced Query Accelerator) – A Speed Boost for Your Amazon RedshiftCategory: Database, Data, firewall, encryption
Amazon Redshift already provides up to 3x better price-performance at any scale than any other cloud data warehouse. For example, we launched the SSD-based RA3 nodes for Amazon Redshift at the end of 2019 (Amazon Redshift Update – Next-Generation Compute Instances and Managed, Analytics-Optimized Storage) and added additional node sizes last April (Amazon Redshift update – ra3.4xlarge Nodes), and last December (Amazon Redshift Launches RA3.xlplus Nodes With Managed Storage).
From digital interactive entertainment to tracking impressions and performance for media buys, Amazon Redshift and RA3 nodes help our customers to store and query data at world scale, with up to 32 PB of data in a single data warehouse.
This reduces network traffic, offloads work from the CPUs in the RA3 nodes, and allows AQUA to improve the performance of those queries by up to 10x, at no extra cost and without any code changes.
Here’s a diagram that shows how all of the elements come together to accelerate queries: If you are already using ra3.4xl or ra3.16xl nodes to host your data warehouse, you can start using AQUA in minutes.
