Redshift
Amazon Redshift is a fast and powerful, fully managed, petabyte-scale data warehouse service in the cloud.
It provides a simple and cost-effective way to analyze all your data using existing Business Intelligence (BI) tool and SQL clients, regardless of the size of data.
It is designed to handle datasets from few hundred giga byte to a petabyte or more
Customers can start small for just $0.25 per hour with no commitments or upfront cost and scale to a petabyte or more for $1000 or more tera byte per year, less than a 10th of most other data base solution
Amazon Redshift handles all the data warehouse management activities for you, from provisioning the infrastructure to automating ongoing administrative tasks such as backup and patching.
Amazon Redshift is 10 times faster than traditional warehousing solution, because it stores the data in columnar form (columnar data storage). i.e. instead of storing data as a series of rows, amazon redshift organize data by column.
Data transferred in redshift is encrypted with SSL, data stored is encrypted by AES 256.
(note: we use BI or some web interface to use redshift)
