Guess will run the Vertica Analytic Database in conjunction with front-end business intelligence tools from MicroStrategy and BusinessObjects.

Mike Relich, chief information officer of Guess, said: "Retail moves at lightning speed so we needed a high-performance analytics platform that could handle our fast-paced requirement for information. After looking at several alternatives we selected Vertica because it simply delivers the answers the business needs in record time and at much lower cost than the other databases and appliances we evaluated."
