HOLON, Israel

Optimal+ today announced that it has selected HP Vertica as the big data platform to provide next-generation Business Intelligence and Analytics (BI&A) for all of its their solutions serving the semiconductor industry. Building on the HP Vertica Analytics Platform, Optimal+ is delivering unprecedented real-time visibility into the global semiconductor supply chain. As a result, companies with internal or external manufacturing operations can aggregate, analyze and act on their global manufacturing data in real-time, finding actionable insights that can drive time-sensitive decisions that will significantly improve yield, productivity and quality.

Currently deployed throughout the global semiconductor supply chain and leading IDMs, Optimal+ solutions create profound insights from the massive amounts of big data generated in manufacturing operations. Optimal+ is the only technology vendor in the semiconductor market segment to have established a global Big Data Highway that seamlessly links decision-makers to every subcon or test floor facility in their enterprise’s extended ecosystem.

The ability to analyze vast amounts of disjointed data from multiple sources without the need to re-aggregate it means that alerts and customized reports on all online data can be requested and delivered within seconds, enabling Optimal+ customers to make business decisions faster than ever before.

“Organizations across the globe need to reduce costs and quickly turn data into business insight by scaling analytics at high speed,” says David Pieterse, GM Big Data Platform – EMEA at HP. “We are pleased that Optimal+ has selected HP Vertica due to its leadership position as a Manufacturing Intelligence solution provider to the semiconductor industry and its roadmap to provide such industry-leading big data solutions to the Electronics and Automotive markets.
